If this rumor is true, and we passed on opportunity for Kazmir as well as possibly Crawford, then I just don't get how Wilpons' keep Omar.
The Rays have shopped Kazmir around a bit, even calling the Mets, who expressed initial interest but nothing more. Tampa is trying to see if they could trade Kazmir, Carlos Pena and in the right blockbuster even Carl Crawford to free up dollars to make a bigger trade. The Rays are most focused on seeing if they can add Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez in one trade, though they continue to call on Halladay, as well.

I haven't followed it closely to tell you what's up, but with a 6.22 ERA and injury problems, this year's version of Kazmir looks more like what the Mets thought they were trading than what the Rays got. Given our medical staff's inability to accurately gauge a player's ability to bounce back from injury, I kind of feel like the Mets would be shooting in the dark if they were to trade for Kamir right now.
Now tell me you can get Crawford, and that changes everything.
