If so, it's a stupid game. As I said before, even if Theo thinks that he has a shot at Headley between now and next winter, there's no reason not to jump on Stewart if the price is DeWitt. The question isn't the cost. It's whether you want Stewart at all. If you pick him up, you are giving him a roster spot, playing time, and $2.5 million or so. I'm not convinced that's worth it. If you are planning on nontendering DeWitt, there is no reason not to do this. Keep pursuing headley. If you get him, then no tender Stewart and you've lost nothing. Could keep Stewart and Headley. Headley at 3B. Stewart has played 2B and both corner OF spots in addition to 3B.
