PP: So Nick, what do you think about the latest Mets and Mariners blockbuster?
NN: In terms of who we sent, I half approve. Cano lost my fan trust with his Furosemide bust last year. His poor decision ruined the Mariners’ season. We’ll also never know how much of his performance was honest and how much wasn’t.
PP: I agree. But why do you disapprove of trading Diaz?
NN: Why do you think, Pete? Did you watch any of last season? He led the Majors in saves! We just gave him away?
PP: While I’m also cringing about trading him away and at such a young age, it made little sense to keep our closer during a rebuild.
