NY Mets: 2008 March Towards A Championship
Because The Cow wanted it ....here ya go!
For the interim, we can talk about the NY METS off-season. Please don't clutter this up with NON-MET stuff.....the general MLB threads are better suited for that. -p |
You are my new hero. :up:
(for a day or two) |
So... Are the Mets washed up now?

And I'm assuming a strong run will be made on Posada...... Reality is that it would probably take Reyes, Humber or Pelfrey, and another B-level prospect. |

http://www.dugoutcentral.com/blog/?p=424 According to sources in New York, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is sincere in his interest in playing for the New York Mets next year. He isn’t happy with how his contract was handled during the spring prior to the season, or with the uncertainty of Joe Torre’s status as the Yankees manager. After the dust settles on the Torre situation, Rivera intends to get in touch with Mets manager Willie Randolph, who knew Rivera from his time as a Yankees coach. It will be interesting to see whether the Mets have a corresponding interest, and how Rivera would fit with the Mets. Mets closer Billy Wagner still has two years remaining on the four-year, $43M contract he signed in November of 2005. Rivera would seemingly require at least a two-year, $20M deal, meaning the Mets would have more than $20M per year tied up in two older closers. Wagner will be 36 at the start of next season and Rivera 38. Could Wagner and Rivera co-exist? Would the Mets go through the hassle and potential expense of signing Rivera and trading Wagner – perhaps just for one-upmanship in their battle with the Yankees for attention? -p |

I think it is for leverage, but interesting none the less. -p |

Agreed. He'll fetch a lot even if he won't sign long term, there isn't a better rent a player deal out there, but he'll really bring the goods if he signs.
Santana makes me throw out most of my rules regarding deals and trades; he's a very rare commodity. |
Santana is an ace, but he is only good every 5 days. Reyes is a perennial all-star that plays everyday. There is no way he is even mentioned in this deal, especially considering he is signed to a very reasonable long term deal.

I like Reyes, don't get me wrong, but the hard on you appear to have for him is a bit scary.
|
I'd do the same thing if I had Hanley Ramirez.
