Mets Today —
The Red Sox have dealt centerfielder Coco Crisp to the Royals for reliever Ramiro Ramirez.
Who knew the Royals had such a surplus of quality bullpen arms?
The trade is the second made by Kansas City this offseason. A few weeks ago they traded reliever Leo Nunez for first baseman Mike Jacobs.
A few things to glean from this transaction, the first being, wow, the cost of a decent, young, middle reliever is a starting centerfielder. I realize Coco Crisp isn’t exactly an All-Star, but centerfielders who can play strong defense and ...

... . And now they've traded middle reliever Ramon Ramirez for outfielder Coco Crisp . At least one longtime Royals fan (who happens to be my brother) is, shall we say, perplexed: In a vacuum, Coco Crisp is more valuable than Ramon Ramirez, Mike Jacobs more valuable than Leo Nunez. But a baseball team is not built in a vacuum. Jacobs and Crisp might push the Royals from 75 wins to 77 or 78 wins.
