How much for the little girl?



How much for the little girl? The women? How much for the women?

So the Mets finally dumped underachieving righthander Kris Benson on the Baltimore Orioles for a middle of the pack reliever (Jorge Julio) and a 25 year old prospect (John Maine). No big deal. that kind of trade happens 5 times a week in the baseball off-season; hardly worth commenting on.

So why was Omar Minaya (Mets general manager) compelled to add this comment?

Mets general manager Omar Minaya said Benson's wife, Anna Benson, was not a factor in the trade. A model and an actress, she has posed topless and publicly discussed intimate details about their sex life.

Anna Benson showed up for a Saturday news conference wearing a black Baltimore Orioles jersey, but said she was not happy about the trade. The Mets signed Kris Benson to a three-year deal after acquiring him from Pittsburgh.

"I kind of feel like we were misled about this as a family," Anna Benson said. "It was a free-agent year. He could have signed anywhere."

She also showed up at the Mets' holiday party in December, where Kris Benson dressed as Santa Claus, in a low-cut Santa costume, a move that upset some in the organization.


Publicly discussed detals about their sex life? That's a euphemism for what Anna really had to say - If Kris cheats on her, she'll bang each and every one of his teammates.

I mean, when was the last time a team had to deny that a player's wife was a motivation for trading him? Probably not since the Peterson - Kekich affair back in 73
.

Maybe it's just Anna's general idiocy; or maybe it's her more specific idiocy when she tries to play politics.

I wonder what the Orioles could get if they traded Benson, Anna, and kept Benson, Kris?
