I'm not up on Mets, but interesting that big-market team is so cheap.  They were 21st in majors in payroll entering last season.  Haven't signed anybody expensive this winter, or retained either of their own FA's thus far, Murphy and Cespedes.

Their owners lost a lot of money to Bernie Madoff.

Wilpons allegedly lost a bunch of money in the bernie madoff scandal... they made a bunch, then lost a whole lot more.

Now they are one of those owners that are happy to keep milking their team for cash flow vs winning.

Because they're still paying Bobby Bonilla?

Quote from: Rotworld
Josh Harrison - 3B - Pirates

Pirates GM Neal Huntington said Wednesday that Josh Harrison will take over at second base for the traded Neil Walker.
The Pirates shipped Walker to the Mets on Wednesday evening. Per their GM, the plan moving forward is to start Josh Harrison at second with Jung Ho Kang manning the hot corner once he's healthy. Harrison, 28, hit .287/.327/.390 with four homers, 28 RBI and 10 steals across 418 at-bats. He started 37 games at second in 2015.

I guess this goes down as one of those Cubs trades that didn't work out that well for us, but if you're not happy for Josh Harrison, something is wrong with you.

Who was the ass-clown wearing a red STL shirt, trying to get camera time while in the back round of MLB's coverage today? What a freak
I think Davep is in Florida.

Speaking of red at the winter meetings in Nashville, Ryan Dempster needs a new sports coat.  That checkered monstrosity is as bad as it gets.

Padres are close to getting Christian Betancourt for the Braves.  Law is saying Casey Kelly is likely going from Padres to Braves.

Interesting how agents benefit by representing players who all have similar interests. So long as full disclosure to all involved, not really a conflict of interest I guess. But, by helping to steer Heyward from Cardinals to Cubs, Casey Close now creates opportunities for his clients--- in St. Louis. Presumably, Heyward fine with departing Cards, but now Cards very eager to get another Close client because Heyward departed.

Wonder how long it took to negotiate this part of Greinke's deal.

Wow, Michael Cuddyer is retiring.  He's letting the Mets off the hook for $12.5 million this year.

He turned down a QO last season that would have paid more in 2015...
