No, no, no.

Dickey is owed $5M this year, and wanted a two year extension totaling $26-28 million, depending on the source. Best offer the Mets gave was two years at $20 million.

Its hard for me to believe that for the Mets it was about the money, especially after they just gave Wright $137 million. I think they were committed to moving him when they believed he was at the peak of his value, and intentionally low-balled him to grease the wheels for a trade they always desired. Hopefully it works out for RA. He was a great story last year, and as a Mets fan, one of the two brights spots. Santana’s no-no being the other.

By “pencils” you mean “Sharpies”?

It’s easier to swallow considering this drought should alter ownership’s tact, as well as scare away some of the pink-hatted Sweet Caroline singers that have ruined Fenway

Hope so.

I was just hoping they’d throw in Lawrie.

Right.

well, the Blue Jays do need some insurance just in case all their pitchers get hurt or bomb again like 2012. Plus, you get rid of John buck! win win!

Maybe I’m just overly attached to prospects. I can’t stomach moving D’Arnaud because he’s MLB ready, plays a premium position and the Jays current catcher blows. I also think Noah has potential to be awesome and MLB ready in 2 years. Better win a WS or this is going to look real bad in a couple of years.

Do not like this deal at all.
