Frez Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 The Mets have reached an agreement in principle with free-agent Carlos Beltran on a $119-million seven-year deal, pending a physical on Monday. The press conference should take place Tuesday. The agreement also includes an $11-million signing bonus and a no-trade clause as part of the deal. Carlos, welcome to the good part of town.

Mike32282 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Enjoy him! The Mets severely overpaid him. IMO, he is NOT worth $45 more than Vlad Guerrero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year the Mets had a $98 million payroll- 4th highest in the majors. The Mets tried desperately to acquire Arod and they made a run at Vlady. Wah! Wah! For future reference-its a good idea when you call someone stupid in an arrogant, condescending way to get your facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Eat your heart out Yankees fans?? Good part of town!?!?!? Why must a Mets fan or any other fan point out the Yankees when they make a great signing? What do the Yankees have to do with it? When the Yankees signed Carl Pavano, did you see any "Eat this Mets Fans"? No...because 1. Who Cares and 2. It has NOTHING to do with the Met$ Its sad really....really sad.

Ray Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 With that signing the Mets should compete for the Bisons for the international league title, but I think the Bisons have better overall pitching!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Clement, Carl Pavano?? I think acquiring Randy Johnson a much bigger asset to pitching staff. I think Pavano will not thrive in AL. He is a # 3 or #4. on yanks staff.I think the Yanks are at 200+million& Steinny does have a limit. Yanks wanted Beltran but just could not overspend on him. If they got out of Roid boys contract, Beltran would be a Yank Eat your heart out Yankees fans?? Good part of town!?!?!?

Why do you need the satisifaction of hearing a YANKEE fan acknowledge a bad signing when this thread is about the METS??? Nobody seems to want to answer that question: WHY must the Yankees be mentioned in this thread at ALL??!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has NOTHING to do with the Met$ Its sad really....really sad. 200030[/snapback] To the best of my recollection, the Mets weren't interested in Carl Pavano; they were busy going after Pedro Martinez. Correct me if I'm wrong. The Yankees, on the other hand, WERE interested in Beltran. Most Yankee fans had Beltran penciled into their 2005 lineup from the time of the NLDS right up until about a week and a half ago. Of course, it was only after it looked like they weren't going to get him that you started to hear whispers that "their 'baseball people' don't value Beltran as a $16M/year player" (these are the same "baseball people" who valued Giambi and Jeter at that level) and "Beltran isn't the kind of player who will succeed in NYC" (on that matter, the jury is certainly still out on A-Rod) and "the Yankees don't want to pay him what they pay Jeter and A-Rod" -- none of which you heard when the Yankees were actually courting him. The Yankees can never admit that they were actually outbid, or outworked, by another team for any particular player. It has something to do with the Yankees because everyone had Beltran going to the Yankees, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Dumb Mets. Way overpay for Pedro, now overpay for Beltrane. As yes Pete, this is another example of a team trying to buy a Championship not to mention yet another example of the DISparity between big and small market teams in baseball and it is ruining the game.

While we sh-- the bed on the Giambi deal I'm glad we didn't overpay, for a change, for Beltran. I feel damn good about our lineup going into spring training. I only hope our pitching signings work out for us. It is funny too how the Yankees get pulled into everything that happens in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
