There will be no fuckin Zito now (thanks Sciz). The San Francisco Giants jumped in and blew everybody out of the water with their offer to Barry Zito.
The Mets were unwilling to match the 7-year, $126m deal (exactly $18 per) with another year at $18m possible.
I don't fault the Mets for not matching this ridiculous offer but if he helps you win the World Series in year one and sucks for 6 years, he's worth it.
Now the Mets really need for their young pitchers (Pelfrey, Humber, Perez and Maine) to step up because Glavine, El Duque and Pedro are only a couple years from serious skill deterioration or retirement.
The Mets have only gotten older and more frail since Game 7. What's next, a trade for Randy Johnson?

I was actually considering putting that in my Zito post. I think one year of Randy Johnson makes a lot of sense for the Mets.
ReplyDeleteTime to trade for Willis... If it takes Pelfrey, Milledge and Humber, so be it.
