Do they though? They are pretty much a lock for not making the playoffs again this year. Wright is most closely associated with the team that lost an NLCS they should have won, then collapsed twice and has nose-dived since.

This is the "face of the franchise"?

Well... I suppose it is. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

It kinda sounds like he might be getting dealt if he declines.

at any cost may have been hyperbole, but i don't think the mets can let this guy go in the same fashion they did reyes. especially if they want to prove they're moving on from the madoff crap

They should, because if he declines that, he wants out.

Will the Mets ever be anything but an incorporated facepalm of a team? The latest addition to the team's ever-growing portfolio of pathetic missteps comes courtesy of The New York Times, which points out today that one of the team's new minority owners is allegedly little more than a flowery scam artist.

You may recall that, when the Mets' efforts to sell the team to David Einhorn fell through, the Wilpons decided to raise some capital by selling minority shares in the team to friends and family. We now know that one of those friends was James F. McCann, the founder and CEO of 1-800 Flowers and a man who twice has been accused of defrauding his customers.

Apparently the Rangers offered Olt to the Mets for Dickey and the Mets turned it down.

Martino is saying it is Gose and d'Arnaud going to the Mets. It sounds like the Mets are trading more than just Dickey.

I'm hoping Anthopolous soured a bit on D'Arnaud for whatever reason. And for such a coveted prospect, Gose sure gets moved a lot

Am gonna enjoy rooting for Dickey

It tends not to work out for guys who go through that. See Andy Marte, Brett Wallace, etc.

Hey, I said "tends," not "mathematical certainty."

And it took Gio a while to become what he became.
