They didn't even make him an offer.

I'm not setting foot in Citifield until the team is sold. Coupon is making M Donald Grant look good by comparison.


I agree , either until the team gets sold or they spend some money to make the team competitive . I would rather see them sold . I don't want to see the Mets being like the Pirates of the last 10 years . Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money .

Selig will never force his good friend Wilpon to sell. We're stuck with Fred until he's bankrupt or in jail.

I also belive Roger Maris belongs - if the steroid era (error) shows us anything - what he did was special...I agree on Tommy John for both his record and his paving operation.

Riggs Stephenson,(Check out his batting average). Jumpin Joe Dugan, Stan Hack, Charlie Grimm, Bill White, Joe TorreCarl Mays, Smokey Joe Wood, Charlie Finley, Rocky Colavito,Vada Pinsom, Billy Pierce, Billy Martin, Munson and Donnie Baseball too...

There s/b a special place for what could have been for Tony C, Herb Score, Ken Hubbs...

I hadn't stopped to think about the irony of the Marlins signing away a player from the Mets.

(Now maybe Mets fans will understand my pain and disillusionment at how the 1998 Marlins essentially conceded the entire baseball season before it even began.)

One season doesn't seem so bad to me right now. I feel like Wilpon has conceded this whole decade while he fights to keep ownership of a franchise he can use as his "Pretend Dodgers".

David Wright will eventually be traded, says Klapisch

In a report for the Bergen Record, Bob Klapisch says:


Wright has two years left on his contract, including a $16 million team option for 2013 that he can void if he’s traded.

Yesterday, Sandy Alderson said the Mets will be entertaining, competitive and underestimated in 2012. However, according to Joel Sherman in a report for the New York Post, Mets officials will tell you in private that their best chance to contend will be in 2014.

Nevertheless, a member of the organization told Sherman, ““David’s not going anywhere this winter,” mostly because, as Sherman puts it, “Ownership simply does not have the tolerance to lose Reyes and Wright in the same offseason and further infuriate an already irate fan base.”

According to Sherman, the Mets could likely get three prospects for Wright today. However, yesterday, CBSSports.com’s Jon Heyman said the Mets recently got two bad trade offers for Wright. Why? “The combination of a down 2011 and no control over the player after 2012 gives Alderson poor leverage,” Tom Verducci explains in a report for SI.com.

In November, on SNY’s Mets Hot Stove show, Wright said, “My dream is to experience the good, the bad and the ugly, win a World Championship, play 15 years and do it all with the Mets.” However, yesterday, when talking on air to ESPN 1050 about Reyes leaving for Miami, and what life might be like as a free agent, Wright said, “I’m not sure what my future holds.”
