According the Gammons the Royals are trading Affeldt and MacDougal to the Mets for Kris Benson.

ESPN's Peter Gammons is reporting that Kris Benson is on his way to the Royals for Jeremy Affeldt and Mike MacDougal.
Metsblog.com's Matthew Cerrone says it might be a prospect instead of MacDougal along with Affledt. The Royals can't give up both relievers for the right to pay Benson $15 million over the next two years.

I'd be surprised if it's both for Benson....

I hope it turns out to be just Affeldt and maybe a low level prospect. If not the Royals better be getting more back.

Oh Anna Benson...welcome to KC, sweetheart!

Ehhh. I hope it's just Affeldt and somebody else. I really don't wanna trade MacDougal. Not for Benson. I actually kinda like Benson, I just hope he doesn't have a sour attitude about playing in KC coming from New York.

Gammons ****s these up daily. But, that being said, Victor Diaz/Nady or Keppinger better be on the way to the Rojas - otherwise we got screwed, er, again.

People on the Mets' side of things say its Affeldt and a prospect, not both Affeldt and MacDougle

No way we trade both that would be really stupid, keep Mac out of the two if any, since Affeldt just cannot get it together here, but knowing our luck he'll kick ass elsewhere.

I wonder if KC is ready for Mrs. Benson...

DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE: Rivalling Karen Burnett for the title of Most Talked About Wife at these meetings is the steaming mad spouse of New York Mets pitcher Kris Benson. Amid reports the Mets were looking to deal her husband to Baltimore just one season into a four-year deal, Anna Benson blasted the team and said the move was in retaliation for her musing aloud about posing nude for Playboy magazine.

But even more interesting than Anna Benson's non-clothing issues — she once posed for Penthouse and threatened last season to sleep with the entire Mets squad if her husband ever cheated on her — was her take on patriotism and former Jays slugger Carlos Delgado, now with the Mets.

"How are they going to sit there and say it's so controversial," she told the New York Daily News of her pondered Playboy shoot, "when they sign someone like Delgado, who turns his back on our flag?

"Playboy is all-American. Everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford has posed. They didn't turn their back on the flag."

Neither did Delgado, of course. If Benson could put her thinking cap on for five minutes — along with the rest of her clothes — she'd realize Delgado not standing for God Bless America was merely exercising his right to free-speech. Just as she now clamours, in a much louder voice by the way, for her right to earn money peddling what seem to be her finest attributes.

Benson heading to K.C.
Dec 6 - The Mets are about to trade right-handed starter Kris Benson to the Royals for left-hander Jeremy Affeldt and right-hander Mike MacDougal, reports ESPN's Peter Gammons, who says the deal could get done Tuesday night.

Earlier, the Newark Star-Ledger reported that Mets GM Omar Minaya had spoken with several teams about Benson -- including Baltimore, San Francisco and Kansas City.

The Mets like Benson but would move him in order to clear his salary ($15.5M over two years) so they could make a deal for a high-priced starter such as Arizona's Javier Vazquez or Oakland's Barry Zito.

New York almost dealt Benson to Baltimore last week for Jorge Julio. But the Mets went back to the Orioles demanding a high-level prospect in addition to Julio, and the O's balked.

The only way this deal goes down Macdougal and Affeldt for Benson is cause baird gets a to bang Anna, only explaniation.

I guess I'll be the first to say the obligatory: This post is totally worthless without pictures

Wow

So the Royals look like they are going to go with Sisco and Burgos as their closers. I'm ok with that, especially if Nunez can figure out how to get some control. We need to find a good 7-8-9 combination like we had with Burgos-Sisco-Mac
