Will Michael Cuddyer Be the First?

[Loophole]

Look folks no way it's 2 years 20m. He had 1 year for 15.3m no way he takes a deal that adds a year for only 4.7m.

Why not? Players often prefer longer contracts for less AAV.

I'll take the under.

You would be a wise man.

Could they be in the hunt for a SP? Have they overcome their financial troubles?

I can't imagine the Mets would need to trade for pitching. They're absolutely loaded with with guys. Harvey,Wheeler,Niese,deGrom,Bartolo,Syndergaard,Gee,Montero etc etc. If anything I'd expect them to be trading 2 or 3.

Ok. I was wrong. I admit it.

Close enough in my estimation, weams!

Why would you turn down 1/15 to play in a great hitters' park, to sign with the freaking Mets for 2/21? Am I missing something? I mean, I get that 21 > 15, but you'd have to think that a halfway decent 2015 would have gotten him more than 1/6 for 2016.

I meant go after the top tier FA and use other guys as trade bait. The logic being they view the pick given up as a 2nd rounder. Or they move Duda, play Cuddyer at 1B and get Cruz or Melky.

It is his last contract. He hated the Rockies and their loser ways, and the Mets made it possible for him NOT TO BE THE ONE. Besides. They kinda compete.

I dunno, it's two years. And he's apparently making $12.5 million in year 2, which makes me think the Mets plan on him still having something in the tank. But maybe he just really wanted out of Colorado, and that's why he got the QO in the first place.

I would assume that you are spot on. Also, the Mets money is still kinda funny. They probably love the idea of a back-loaded contract.

Cole Hamels is available for all of his money, the guarantee of his option. And your top three prospects.

Thanks, Ken, I had been wondering.

Also, if this is anywhere near factual...Nick just got real expensive.
