Not just no, but “HELL, NO!“
“As I’ve said before, he’s one of the free agents in the market, and we’re looking at all free agents,” Minaya said about A-Rod, whose private plane flew from Miami to the Bahamas on Sunday…
Minaya continues to reaffirm his pleasure with David Wright and Jose Reyes, but won’t offer any guarantees that a position switch to accommodate A-Rod is not viable.
“We don’t need to fill third base,” Minaya said yesterday. “I’m telling you, today we’re very happy with David Wright at third base.”
I understand the need to do due diligence and investigate every free agent on the market, but if the Mets sign A-Rod, I’m done.
D.O.N.E.
While his offensive prowess is without equal — in the regular season at least — he’s the kind of over-priced, “Me, first” player that doomed the Mets in the Nineties and would be a cancer on a team that needs to head-check after last season’s collapse.
I don’t care if we could trade Reyes for Johan Santana and A-Rod moved back to shortstop. I don’t care if he’s willing to play second base. I don’t care if he took a paycut; I don’t want him in Queens and if they do sign him, it’s the end of my 25-year run as a Mets fan and I’m going back to the Yankees.
