probably has a lot to do with why he cleared waivers.........

 

does he have a pretty big contract?

[Taylor]

Niese rhymes with PIECE!

It's very reasonable. That's one of the reasons I was pushing for the Angels to go after him in the offseason.

[nando714]

The mets are actually looking for solid Rondon's for neise though right?

They need a SS bad. Might have to be a 3 team trade

2015 28 New York Mets $7,000,000

2016 29 New York Mets $9,000,000

2017 30 New York Mets *$10,000,000

2018 31 New York Mets *$11,000,000

[Cdaniel]

2017 & 18 are option years

[wopphil]

I wonder why Jerry didn't make a claim on him.

[Hollyw00d]

I wonder why Jerry didn't make a claim on him.

because our rondon balance is low. Gotta avoid those pesky overdraft fees

No. It's VERY team-friendly.

 

$5.05 MM this year, $7.05 in 2015, $9.05 in 2016 with options for 17 & 18 ($500k buyout)

 

But the Mets would be looking for a lot, I'm sure.

 

Too bad, because he would help us.

Niese's pieces

BTW, Gio Gonzalez also cleared waivers.

[tdawg87]

Most players get put on waivers and hence, most players clear waivers. I think most GM's are aware that guys like Gio Gonzalez aren't going to be let go of, and if they are it will cost every Rondon.

[Mark68]

Not saying we had a shot to get a guy like Gio...especially since there aren't enough Rondons in the world to pry him loose from a contending team.

with the news of skaggs needing TJ surgery, i imagine we pick someone up before august 31.

 

 

 

and thus concludes my captain obvious moment for the day.

[NJHalo]

Niese is a TJ surgery ready to happen. He avoided it 2 years ago, so is on borrowed time.

Steer clear
