I wouldn't be too surprised or upset about Delgado.

The trade is the big topic on NY sportstalk radio today, and I learned that even though Delgado was signed for four years, last year he made $4 million, and this year he is scheduled to make $13 million.

He did not have a no trade clause, so it looks like the Marlins intended to only keep him for the one year. Plus, he's 33 years old, so his best years figure to be behind him.

The prospects you guys are getting from the Mets look solid. Supposedly it's catcher-first baseman Mike Jacobs, who hit about 10 homers in maybe 100 ABs after a late season call-up, and a minor league pitcher Yosimuri (sp) Petit, who's supposed to be their #1 pitching prospect.

Considering that you got Delgado as a free agent - basically for nothing - getting two decent guys back for him isn't so bad.

Trading Beckett sucks, though.
