Even if you totally discount Figgins outburst after he was removed by Wak, now would still be the best time to move Figgins. The concern would be if Figgins is brought back next year and is a flop again his appeal to other team would have fallen even further making him extremely tough to offload.
On the flip side, if Figgins is brought back and does perform well, well what asset will the M's have saved a powerless player with a low 700 OPS, manning 3B. So why would Z even want him back next year?
At one time I thought his veteran leadership presence may be beneficial, but after his display this evening I'm having some serious doubts if he even offers any value on that front.
