Mets Rumors: Why move Scott Schoeneweis?

I keep reading that the Mets might move Scott Schoeneweis.

Why?

Schoeneweis has been one of the best arms in the bullpen all year long. He's had a nice bounceback year after last year's performance. I would hope the Mets would be able to land a solid arm in return if they do trade him away.

Without Schoeneweis, the bullpen would be much worse off than before. He's the third best reliever in the pen, behind Billy Wagner and Aaron Heilman (I never thought I'd write that sentence).

I'll be fine with the Mets making no moves today, and as of now, that's what seems like is going to happen.
