Nate, I think you nailed most of it. If Omar didn't have to package Nady to the Pirates, either Nady, or more likely Milledge, would have been the centerpiece for a Schmidt or Oswalt. I don't think the Mets and As were that close in the last few days. Omar maintained all along that he wouldn't trade LM for a rental, and Zito was the classic rental. Lets just hope Sanchez doesn't need surgery and can come back this season.
