I was over reading the Mets board... a blurb posted over there said that was part of the problem, the Royals kept pushing MacDougal and the Mets kept asking for Affeldt.
I think Affeldt could really use a change of scenery, but I like the logic in not trading him. With Affeldt's stuff, it's wiser to at least try to go after a gold glover like Orlando Hudson or a couple really good young players from the Braves, over a career .500 guy like Benson.
