Cliff Floyd Trade, Part II:

I don't get it. Montreal was 6 games out of the wild card when they got Floyd. They are 6 out now. And Floyd's been in a slump, so they haven't had a chance to feel an effect from his hitting. Yes, it's harder to make up 6 games now than it was 3 weeks ago, but much bigger leads have been overcome this late. And the Expos traded for prospects! Does this mean they expect to be around next year? Or do they have another deal in the works? And for you conspiracy theory mavens out there, the whole Boston-Montreal-Flordia axis is a little fishy. Was this the intention all along, to get Floyd to the Red Sox, and appease critics by making it look like the Expos were trying to win? Maybe we need an expose on the whole matter. :-)
