Maybe that's one of the reasons you are not a GM. The ones who have the jobs would take him, gladly.

A team out of contention would take him. But why would a team trying to make the playoffs take a pitcher who...

- Is winless in August this year
- Has a career losing record in September, with an ERA higher than the # of grams of pot he got caught with
- Cannot find home plate right now
- Cannot make it into the 7th inning

He is melting down. Unless he re-invents himself, he'll barely be a .500 pitcher in 2 years. Take that to the bank.
