Moving Liney to the Mets makes sense to me.
Even if we don't get anything back.
We'd likely call up Carlos Torres, and have him pitch long relief.
Then move Pena back to a 7th-inning type role.
We can't use Linebrink in the 7th inning now...
Not in close games anyway.
So, the net result would be an improvement, IMO.
Of course, if we could find someone who will offer us additional players for him too that would be great.
But I don't see that happening.
He would be traded for nothing just to get rid of the salary relief or traded for a good prospect and cash kind of a bizarro KW deal. Linebrink plus $3M for a B level prospect.
