Well this has been a long time coming. Rumors are that Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel will not bring them back to the Mets.
Manuel and general manager Omar Minaya have appointments to meet with chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon on Monday to officially be told their fates.
Finally, here are some Minaya Signings:
Worst Big Money Signings:
1. Oliver Perez: Three years, $36 million on Feb. 2, 2009. This one has been amply covered.
2. Luis Castillo: Four years, $25 million on Nov. 19, 2007. Orlando Hudson would have been a free agent one year later and wanted to be a Met. Hudson would have been a free agent two years later, too.
3. Fransisco Rodriguez: Three years, $37 million on Dec. 9, 2008. The Mets originally were so proud of this deal, but there is this little kicker: If K-Rod finishes 55 games next season, his contract will vest for 2012 at a crippling $17.5 million. Oh, and then there is the whole character-issue thing.
Jury is still out on Jason Bay.
I mean he has been awful. And Jerry Manuel hasn't helped much. The Mets need a new look and there are some possible trades that could change their outlook.
