Delgado Wants to Stay

Carlos Delgado is so happy with the Mets that he doesn't want to leave New York.
Delgado decided against filing a trade demand.
When a veteran is traded during a multiyear contract he can elect to file a trade demand in the year after the trade. If they are not traded they become free agents and have their contracts ripped up, basically. Delgado is guaranteed $30 million over the next two years and is not about to give that up.
"Carlos has notified us today that he is very happy to be here," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said during a telephone conference call. "He enjoys being with the New York Mets and enjoys being in the city and enjoys everything about this organization."
"He wants to be a Met for the rest of his career," Minaya said. "I'm hopeful that at some point in time we will exercise that option. Right now we feel it's not the right time."
