that question is kind of confusing, but the Reds were going to end up paying Mike Stanton $3.5 million no matter what. the only way out of it would have been to trade him to a team that would want him and his salary (and who would want stanton for $3.5 mil?). if someone else is going to be able to outplay stanton and help our team, i dont want stanton hogging that guy's roster spot just because we owe him more money. and if we keep him on the bench all season, it's the same as cutting him. in short, i have no regrets, or rather qualms, about the decision that was made
