Mets May Start Talks With Wright & Dickey Next Week

[JohnNY62]

Arod + 100 mill to the Mets in exchange for David Wright.

You are scaring me FOC.

[fanofclendennon]

You are scaring me FOC.

FoC sees all things, some pleasant, some not-so-pleasant,. FoC has no control over the images that are transported to him through other dimensions.

Of course, FoC also had an image that the Mets would lose 95 to 100 games this season so sometimes FoC's images are FOS.

But sometimes they're not.

Was having a brief panic attack ("Those SOB Wilpons would take the money, wouldn't they?") til I realized even the Wilpons would realize the 100 mill would go to ARod, not them. Whew. Just a nightmare after all. Jason IS dead.

[akay47]

I say trade him too! For a solid prospect, not a bum like Swisher

No so fast, sir.

The Wilpons would practically be getting an All Star (ok, former All Star) third baseman for free, as opposed to paying David Wright $20 million.

Ok, so nearly all of Met fandom would riot but the reasoning at the top is that the charismatic Sandy would figure out how to sell it to the Dugmets of the world.

Farfetched? Maybe. But I still wouldn't put it past them.

Be afraid. Be very very afraid.

I say we only eat 50 million but throw in two of Harvey/Wheeler.

[Sick Of It All]

Nah, the Mets have to throw in 10 of the 15 million owed to Wright to make this fair.

[fanofclendennon]

Nah, the Mets have to throw in 10 of the 15 million owed to Wright to make this fair.

Hard to imagine the Yankees turning the deal down because they want $10 mill from the Mets.

[fanofclendennon]

The only question really is what number Wright will wear as a Yankee? I seem to recall, vaguely, that number 5 is unavailable in Yankee pinstripes.

[fanofclendennon]

But Dickey's 43 wouldn't be a problem.

[MetsFanatic19]

The only question really is what number Wright will wear as a Yankee? I seem to recall, vaguely, that number 5 is unavailable in Yankee pinstripes.

I'm pretty sure ever number from 00-30 is retired for the Yankees. We're gonna start to see guys wearing numbers in the 90's in the future.

[fanofclendennon]

Possible choices for David Wright: (Every number other than 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,15,16,23,42,44,49)

Well we gave them their "week" in fact its been well over a week. I don't know about anyone else on here but I haven't heard a thing about either players contracts. Shouldn't they have made offers to both players already if they are serious about resigning them?

Thoughts?

The Mets moving at a glacial pace when activity is called for?

I can hardly believe my eyes and ears.
