Mets Never Made A Serious Offer To Marquis?

By Mike Axisa | March 6, 2010 at 12:29pm CDT

The Mets reportedly came into the offseason focused on five starting pitchers, one of whom was Jason Marquis. The Staten Island native reciprocated that interest, however as Adam Rubin of The New York Daily News tweets, Marquis doesn't know what the Mets offered him exactly because he told his agent to only share "serious" offers with him. 

The 31-year-old Marquis opted to a sign a two-year, $15MM deal with the Nationals in December, while the only starters the Mets imported this offseason were Josh Fogg, R.A. Dickey, and Hisanori Takahashi on minor league deals.

    Why was this necessary..? We all know the Mets made no strong pushes for any starters (maybe Piniero?). But it is too late for anything now. Besides a trade, hopefully including GMJ

            But it is pointless. Why should we care that a sub-par pitcher wasn’t given a a serious offer in his mind by the Mets?

    There is a point when they say they are going to go after pitching, then don’t make any major pitching acquisitions. Then someone who was supposed to be one of the major people on their radar says they were making joke offers.

    When will people wake up and realize Jason Marquis sucks? People bring up how each of his teams have made the post-season every year, but he’s only pitched in the post-season 5 times (not a tremendous record either). He was terrible in the 2nd half last year (4-7, 4.56 ERA) as he is EVERY year of his career. He’s right up there with Eric Byrnes and Brad Penny when it comes to second half duds. He has a terrible LD/GB/FB split; He either gives up a groundball or a flyball.

      I think that’s only in the odd years. In the even years he either gives up a flyball or a groundball.

      You can look it up.

      He has value the same way that Livan Hernandez used to have value.
      1. You know what you are getting
      2. He never gets hurt.
      3. Innings have value.
      4. He can hit (which isn’t factored in but should be)
      I would also think that in New Shea he would be better.
      It’s not a crazy offer. The Mets need known quantities. I’d rather have a guy who goes 6 innings at 3 runs (4.5 era) all the time then a guy who goes 7 innings 1 run then 2 innings 5 runs.

    I think the Mets are holding out for something bigger. They have some good prospects and their offense is gonna be great this year (i’m being as objective as anyone can be).

    Don’t waste draft picks and money on some guy who is only gonna stay around for two years and have a an Era over 4.50.

    Blame Adam Rubin for even Tweeting this.. Marquis succs..Period. Lackey was the only pitcher worth signing this winter and Boston made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Spring Training is here and the Mets are prepared to go with what they have, so am I. Lets move on

    How awful… Omar didn’t wanna overpay for a crappy SP. We already have Ollie, Castillo, Bay, krod and Cora grossly overpaid we didnt need a ~5.00 FIP pitcher making 7 million. Piniero on the other hand at 2 years 17.5 woulda been amazing.

    At least Omar only made one mistake (albeit a mild one) in Bay this off-season and did a damn good job building the BP.

    Mets fans can whine all they want about how bad Marquis is but at the end of the day he’s still better than what they are going to be running out there.

      You do realize that Pelfrey, Maine, and even Oliver Perez have better career FIP’s than Marquis right?

          the point is marquis is not an upgrade to the rotation.

          However potential SP on the trading block may include Cliff Lee, Brandon Webb, Roy Oswalt. It would suck if the Mets maxed out on payroll and were not able to pick up one of these guys.

            He’s not nearly as bad as you people make him out to be. He’s definitely an upgrade to Perez and whoever is going to be the #5, and probably Maine given his health problems.

              i dont think a 2 year commitment to jason marquis should be considered over
              picking up a real #2 starter…if the plan is to hold out and potentially
              look at webb/oswalt/lee…i give omar alot of credit for holding back

                I don’t think they are really related. If the Mets plan on picking up someone in a trade then they are planning to compete. If they want to compete then Marquis would be a much better fit than someone who is so inconsistent like Perez. I don’t see how having Marquis would prevent them from trading for one of those guys. I’m not saying that the Mets should have signed Marquis, but they can’t possibly be planning to compete with the rotation that they have right now, yet it seems like they are.

                  because the salary jason wanted would prevent them from picking up a more expensive option ( at least if u believe the story of the mets not having any money )

    Oliver Perez proving again today that he sucks. Jason Marquis proving today the Mets were right to not pony up for him. Walked the bases loaded in a Spring Training game, gave up five with Mets still batting in the 2nd.

    Classic Oliver Perez, gives up four runs, Mets come back to give him a lead, which he can’t even hold for an inning. You can pay me a fraction of what he’s making to do the same thing.
