    - Did you see that the Mets hired (former Reds GM) Wayne Krivsky? - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 2, 15:00 2
      - Yeah. He's the guy who traded Kearns and Felipe Lopez for a couple mediocre middle relievers, right? - musubi Dec 2, 15:24 1
        
        Basically, he'll be a help if you want to trade with Cincy. Or Baltimore, I guess. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 2, 15:56
