AA held up the massive Marlins trade for 8 hours because of his internal conflict regarding the word/deal he had with Jeff Mathis.
From that, trading a couple of his coveted guys he's seen appreciate in value in the minors, and has/had penciled in (and told those guys as much) to be full time big leaguers in the next couple years, likely also has him internally conflicted and thus contemplating whether to pull out of the deal on that basis.
Certainly if the Mets are adding peices to make the deal bigger, and pushing the envelope as far as what they're asking for as far as prosepcts from Toronto, isn't helping...or is the media attention this has gotten in the past 30 hours, AA is maybe taking a step back.
