I think because people remember him as being a member of the 99 & 2000 squads but he wasn't.

Sandy on with Francesa now... Talking about upgrades behind the plate and in the OF... Not gonna release Bay. Has a lot of faith in the pitching, needs to do something with the offense. Doesn't sound like he's leaning towards trading Ike.

He had a press conference yesterday and Adam Rubin tweeted it. Basically said they won't spend on free agents and would look to improve the through trades. Then says something along the lines that he doesn't want to trade the core doesn't want to blow the whole thing up:what: :snoop:

So basically it will be minor moves picking up crappy players that won't be here in 2014

NY Mets baseball...catch the excrement

Said Scott Hairston has earned a multi year contract and while valuable to the Mets is now valuable to other teams as well. So basically he won't be back next year which makes the Mets lame excuse for keeping him at the deadline that much more mind boggling

And cocksuckers like freedsohh wonder why we hate this organization so much.

Sounds like keeping Wright and dikkey are priority, at least. Definitely not trading the young pitching, Harvey & Wheeler. I'd think he wouldn't have a problem trading Niese though.

Also sounds he's gonna try hard to trade Bay this offseason. I guess the Mets' offseason budget is gonna go towards trading Bay, but paying the last year of the contract anyway. :heh:

And goddamn, somebody get Sandy a glass of water. Lips continuously smacking together, coughing, choking...yuck.

If they will keep Wright and dikkey they will pass it off to the fans as the Mets are serious about contending but won't put anything around them.

Speaking of that
The Mets are expected to start negotiations with David Wright by making an offer for somewhere in the neighborhood of $100MM, people familiar with the team's thinking told Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. The Mets are also expected to give negotiations at least most of October before even considering a deal for the star third baseman.

Heyman was told that General Manager Sandy Alderson & Co. hope to make Wright a Met "for life." A deal could include team options toward the end of the pact with the hope that the 29-year-old stays productive into his late 30s. Wright has opted to remain with the embattled ACES agency but Heyman writes that there's no indication that they have pressed the contract talks because of the timing of the probe into their practices.

Over the weekend, it was reported that Alderson could conceivably agree to extensions with both Wright and pitcher R.A. dikkey before the World Series. While Wright is likely seeking a $100MM+ deal, a veteran agent told Mike Puma of the New York Post that dikkey is probably eyeing Oliver Perez-type money, which would be $36MM over three years.

Hopefully, the Mets don't resign these guys only to get more Andres Torres players. :bryan:

Here's the deal, I'd be thrilled to re-sign Wright and dikkey, but i know they'll do that... and basically only that. Sandy will come out with some snarky "What do the fans want, we re-signed our guys" comment like that is enough to win. I want Wright and dikkey here, but i want them surrounded by good players. If they sign both of them, but then bring in Rick Ankiel to play center, what's the fukkin point?

i didnt read all the replies above, im sure people agree that will be their plan

The Mets are offering 100 million to start, Rubin says the Mets would only be about 60-80 million apart lol. The Mets are only willing to offer 13 million more than what they offered Reyes, and Wright is the supposed face of the franchise and a better player.

Don't worry though we will get a full year of Wright, why trade him and restock the farm when you can let someone else sign him and you get a sandwich pick where you spend far less than what your slot says you can spend...LETS GO METS

normally id take any chance i can to rip the Mets, but if they offer 5/100 to start, what's wrong with that? 6/120 sounds like the ideal contract to me... he'll want more, but id be real happy at those numbers. I'm not gonna be mad if it ends up costing 8/160, or 7/150 or something but i hate contracts that long no matter who it is, and I don't believe he's worth much more than $20m a season. His boy Zimmerman is making $14 a year until 2019 where he'll make $18. Wright has had a better career no matter what morons tell you, so i think that difference in their salary makes sense

If Wright signs for 5 or 6 years, he leaves himself a chance for one more pretty good payday.

Shall we close up shop and start the offseason thread?

Let's get a nice title up too... something like "Moneyball in the NL... it doesn't work for us"

nikka please trade wright he can't carry a team how many times have we seen this shyt he is a good player to stand next to that nikka but when it is his time to be that nikka everything falls i mean Reyes carried the Mets and Beltran carried teams constantly to be respectable but when it is on wright it becomes embarrassing.

let's wait till the WS is over, since that's when the mets said they would have deals in place for wright and dikkey already

so we'll either start the thread like :bryan: or :sadcam:
