Dream on, Met fan!  It's true Foster has some residual value as a DH, but
$2 million a year?  No way.  What GM in his right mind is going to trade
a decent third baseman (of which there are currently few) for an aging DH
who gets paid that kind of money?  I don't think the Mets could GIVE him away
unless they assume a substantial chunk of his salary.
