Monday Memories: The Offseason Blues

Found December 10, 2007 on GlobalNYM.Blogspot.com:
PLAYERS: Lastings Milledge
TEAMS: New York Mets

Monday Memories: The Offseason Blues Okay, so this off-season isn't shaping up to what most of us expected. The Mets suffered a terrible collapse, and they've done nothing significant since then. They traded away Lastings Milledge, lost Glavine (and I don't care if he blew the last game of '07, I wanted him back), and upgraded what, exactly? Don't fear, Mets fans. The Mets have had some pretty mind-boggling off-seasons in the past. Why don't we glance back at a few of Flushing's past off-season blunders, shall we?

Damaso Marte to the Mets?

Via GlobalNYM.Blogspot.com  |  December 10, 2007
According to Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com, the Mets are interested in acquiring Pirates LHP Damaso Marte, 'but not at the current price.' In his last 140 relief appearances for the Pirates, spanning two seasons, Marte, 32, has a 3.13 ERA while left-handed batters hit .154 against him. I guess it couldn't hurt, but it's not worth their asking price of Fernando Martinez.

Over the past couple of seasons, the approach of the Mets and Yankees to the slotting system has represented opposite sides of the spectrum.
