leverage came from the fact its so last minute.
If he didn't want to play here, its hard to come down on management for trading him
arguably however, we ought to have known that a little earlier (like months ago) so that we could have explored other trade options instead of making a deal essentially at gunpoint...
maybe we did, maybe we didn't, but from the scuttlebutt it sure seems like NYR was the only other team we talked to and that just started up today...
