In this particular case, the Mets are not re-using the resources saved by shedding themselves of KRod. Your point was that shedding his salary was enough. My point is, "yeah, that would be the case if they re-use those dollars." But they're not -- they're using it (or going to use it) to pay for their outside activities.
From our perspective as hardcore baseball fans, yeah, it was a no-brainer to dump him, as closers are easily replaceable.
But saving money means little when it's not going to be re-spent on baseball activities.
And JJ's right -- I'm no Mets fan.
