So That Explains It!

Oliver Perez has been placed on the 15 day disabled list. Perez and his agent Scott Boros have been fighting The Mets over their desire to reasign (demote) him to Buffalo. They needed space on the roster for the returning Jon Niese. As we know it is part of Ollie's folly that he believes his 6 plus ERA is an asset to the team.
It is more than likely a face saving deal between Boros and The Mets. It says little for the integrity of Perez or his agent.  The Mets , for their part were not left with many options. My take, if upon investigation, the MLB voids this arrangementThe Mets should just cut Perez. Sure they would have to eat his salary, but they will be rid of this distraction. The Mets, for all their problems have a legitimate shot this year. Don't let this side show deflect from the main event.
