The Mets are spending again.
Less than a week after lavishing outfielder Curtis Granderson with a four-year, $60 million contract, the team on Wednesday agreed to terms on a two-year, $20 million pact with right-hander Bartolo Colon, according to a source. The Mets have not confirmed the deal, as it is pending a physical and not yet official.
With the move, the franchise continued transforming its reputation. After spending $5 million on guaranteed contracts last winter, the Mets have doled out $87.25 million this offseason.
I don't get it. The Mets spend $87.25 million this offseason. Average age: 34 years old. Sure you need old veterans to help out the young guys. But how many of them are winners? Fuck, one of them is a cheater! Granted--these are all short-term contracts. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
P.S. - There is not going to be a single pitch Colon throws this year without me thinking of the Princess Bride.
