Yes yes I knew Vargas was going to get lit up one of these days and people were going to RT my old tweets. The Wilpons appreciate your free PR for their move to save $2 million.
He is starting for the Phillies who are in the race - there's some market value to a 5th starter that you're not paying and the Mets passed on that (as little as it is) to save on salary because the team isn't set up to win, it's set up to be forever mediocre.

If what you’re getting back (should you pay the 2 million) has little value anyway and will have a microscopic possibility of ever making it to the majors then what is the point? So we can a trade chip to get... another bad reliever? Jason Vargas is a silly nit to pick.

Now repeat this for every trade the Mets have made for salary relief. Minor value adds up to organizational depth - lots more chances at getting a winning lottery ticket. All you can do when trading Vargas is do it right.
