Stunning reports that the New York mets and Washington Nationals have agreed to trade Lastings Milledge for Ryan Church… if you remember, Milledge was the star prospect that the Mets were working so hard to hold onto - turning down numerous big name trade opportunities… but for Ryan Church?! Couldn’t Milledge have been used in the Johan Santana trade market?!
ESPN: The New York Mets have dealt outfielder Lastings Milledge to the Washington Nationals for catcher Brian Schneider and outfielder Ryan Church, multiple media outlets reported Friday.
The Nationals announced they would hold a news teleconference at 3 p.m. ET to announce a trade.
