I think someone is giving management too much credit with respect to the speculation about their motives regarding Schu.  My guess is that they are simply trying to keep from destroying what limited trade value he has but confessing that they are desperate to upgrade at second base.

that is a good addendum to the misdirection theory, to which I would add that misdirection avoids the likelihood that they bid up their own target simply by identifying it.
