Cespedes signs with the Mets

[Oz27]

Rosenthal is Tweeting Cespedes is about to sign with the Mets for 3 years/$70 mil approx.

 

It's okay though, we have Nava and Gentry.

I don't mind not signing Cespedes (or any of the other big three), but they have to do something to fix left. Shit, I'd be stoked with Austin Jackson at this point. And I'd probably be just fine with giving up the draft pick for Fowler.

[Stradling]

**** you Arte!

[nate]

So much about Cespedes being a journeyman and someone that teams don't want around... Mets end up bringing him back and he chooses them.

[floplag]

off-season over, lol  
we'll give those guys a heck of a run for third place, lol

In before someone mentions 2002

[nando714]

we are back in the 90s fellow fans

[Stradling]

It's a completely reasonable contract. If you don't want the risk of a long term deal you over pay for a shorter term.

Serious question

If you're trout are you a little bit pissed off ?

Fowler isn't winning us the division. I say hope the platoon in left works. If not trade some pieces for MLB ready talent at the deadline and try again next year.

Nava should be fine but need someone better than Gentry to pair him with.

I knew Arte was not going to allow us to sign Cespedes, but I still can not help but feel gut-punched at the moment. And now I can not go back to studying after this let down. ;(

I would guess more like a lot, and rightfully so.

[laagamer]

**** this goddamn shit

 

 

EDIT: I can't ****ing believe this. The Mets got a complete steal that we should have been in on. A 3 year deal? 

 

 

ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?

Okay, see you guys in a couple years.

 

A modified self-ban for me. I'll check in now and then, but my days as a fan of this team are coming to a close. It's just too stressful at this point.

 

The postseason in 2002 was nice. I'll watch my tapes of those games and enjoy that at least. It's still a thrill to see David Wells walk off the mound after getting hammered in that 5th inning of Game 4 in the division series. There were the other thrills, against Minnesota and the Giants. There was also the 2009 sweep of Boston. But that's been about it.

[ukyah]

they better hope they win a lot, otherwise those attendance figures that they so pompously bragged about a few days ago won't be around very long. you want the 90's? you'll get the 90's.

Mets To Sign Yoenis Cespedes

He’ll earn $75MM over three years and can opt out after one season, per reports, at which time he’ll have earned $27.5MM.

 

 

Guess he will get paid. 

[Angelsjunky]

**** everything.

Bill Shaikin @BillShaikin

Home runs for Yoenis Cespedes last year: 35. Home runs for Daniel Nava and Craig Gentry, projected #Angels LF platoon: 1 (combined).

[Angelsjunky]

CALZONE, it is getting really old.

[floplag]

Honestly, im pretty disgusted with the front office right now  to have done nothing this off season of substance is really a joke. 
At this point they really should trade Trout and rebuild.. its the only move they have left

lol... Scioscia's wet dream.

[Stradling]

Calzone knows, but that's the kind of dude he is. It's cool cause later after spending all off season riding Moreno's dick, he'll shit all over him because he hasn't spent $150 million on the stadium.
