METS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Mets Head To Orlando With $13 Million In Their Wallet
Yesterday morning I asked, do the Mets have any money left? I went through the budget, whats been said over the past few months and how much the Mets had spent to date. I came up with $12 million in available funds. It turns out I was close, but late yesterday Marc Carig of Newsday reported that the Mets in fact have an estimated $13 million dollars remaining that they can...

Curtis Granderson Signing Could Open Door To Daniel Murphy Trade
The signing of Curtis Granderson could give the New York Mets increased trade flexibility.
The Mets’ outfield, a weakness at the start of last season, is now a defensive plus with natural centerfielders – from left to right – of Granderson, Juan Lagares and Chris Young.
MURPHY: On the block?
This alignment would relegate Eric Young to the bench, or possibly second base. Should...

Is $60 Million For Curtis Granderson A Smart Move For The Mets?
The New York Mets committed $60 million to outfielder Curtis Granderson to shed his pinstripes and don blue and orange, signing the outfielder to a 4-year pact earlier this week. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reported that the deal does not include a no-trade clause. It came after the Mets handed $7.25 million to Chris Young to man center field, a decision that will likely push Granderson...

Curtis Granderson Is About To Join An Exclusive Club
I am on board with Curtis Granderson becoming an outfielder for the Mets over the next four seasons. But not everyone is. So I decided to generate a chart that lists all the players in baseball history who have produced 200 doubles, 200 homers, 80 triples and 100 stolen bases in their respective careers.
For the record, Curtis Granderson’s first double for the Mets will be...

The Mets Should Be Pushing For Omar Infante
If the Mets are serious about upgrading their infield and their lineup, they should be pushing harder to land free agent second baseman Omar Infante. While some fans clamored when the Wilpons and Sandy Alderson met with Robinson Cano, landing him has always been unrealistic for the Mets. In fact, given the real chance that the team could put together a contract for Infante that would...

Another Mets Trade To Ponder
A few weeks ago I asked Mets fans if they would trade Noah Syndergaard for Jose Bautista. I did not, as many fans assumed, advocate the trade; I just wanted to see the reaction. The answer was an overwhelming NO.
Still holding out hope that Sandy Alderson will put a stronger team on the field in 2014, but frankly with no idea how he proposes to do it, I came up with the following...

The trade market for Ike Davis and Lucas Duda is getting smaller
TweetFollow @NYMetsLifeThe New York Mets have been trying to find a trade partner for Ike Davis or Lucas Duda. At the start of free agency, there seemed to be numerous teams in need of a first basemen. However, as free agency has gone on, those teams have been decreasing by the day. Now there seems to be one-maybe two teams who can still be interested in Davis. A potential fit can...

A sincere thank you to Jeremy Hefner and Justin Turner
Monday started off great; Jordany Valdespin was non-tendered and it later came out that Sandy Alderson had met with Curtis Granderson. Then it took a dark turn as Justin Turner and Jeremy Hefner were non-tendered by the Mets. Turner has had his ups and down while playing in New York, but the Mets fans deserve to see him play again and Turner himself deserves to return to New...

Why Mets Did Not Non-Tender Ike Davis
If the New York Mets don’t want Ike Davis, why didn’t they just non-tender him? That way the unproductive first baseman with the looping swing and high propensity for striking out would be gone. Davis would just them be another failure in Mets lore.

That’s the conventional wisdom, but there’s more to it under the surface. There always...

What Non-Tendered Mets Could Be Worth Another Look
The New York Mets sent five players to the free-agent market when they non-tendered Jeremy Hefner, Justin Turner, Scott Atchison, Jordany Valdespin and Omar Quintanilla.
HEFNER: Is he worth another look?
None of the decisions should be considered surprising, and to get where they want to be they would need to do get better than what they had.
The question is, what to do until then...

Mets non-tender Atchison, Quintanilla

Lucky 13: Mets SP ready to throw 150 IP in 2015
Recently, John Zakour wrote an article entitled, “Mets could do worse than Bronson Arroyo.” In my mind, the worst thing the Mets could do would be to sign a starting pitcher to a multi-year deal, which by all reports is what it would take to land Arroyo. By my count, the Mets have a baker’s dozen of pitchers that will be ready to deliver at least 150 innings for the 2015...
