If someone called me for 31 consecutive days I think I’d bug out, but maybe if they were bringing $119 million with them I’d show some patience.
The big news here is that Beltran and Martinez have both praised Minaya’s commitment to them. If things work out that’s going to be a great edge for the Mets. It’s certainly one of the new Mets GM’s best qualities (and has been for years).
Having a couple hundred million to spend doesn’t hurt either. But even so, I’m a fan.
