I will begin this post by saying I like Jay Bruce and I hope he is not traded. But by all accounts, Sandy Alderson is determined to deal him and is finding no takers. Which begs the question — did Alderson misread the market for Bruce starting in last July?
In Dilson Herrera, the Mets dealt a top prospect for Bruce. They also took on roughly $20 million in salary. Now, Alderson apparently can’t even get a low-level prospect for Bruce and the $13 million left on his one-year deal.
