Mets Notes: Wright, Reyes, Finances

By Zachary Links | December 4, 2011 at 11:08pm CDT

Tonight, the Marlins reached agreement with Jose Reyes on a six-year, $106MM deal.  Shortly before that news broke, Mets GM Sandy Alderson spoke to the press and confirmed what was widely assumed: the Mets would not be able to compete with such a deal. Here's more on the Mets..

  • The Mets didn't get a final courtesy call before Reyes agreed to the deal with Miami, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
  • Alderson said that the Mets will not trade David Wright, tweets Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.  Roughly three weeks ago, Alderson said that he would have to be blown away by an offer in order to move the third baseman.
  • Alderson remarked that the team lost $70MM, not counting any money they may have lost in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme, Rubin writes.  The GM declined to say if that figure was just for the 2011 season or for a longer period of time.
  • Alderson also stressed that he doesn't have a hard-and-fast rule for deals that are for five years or more.

    Trade Wright? Of course not, that would make sense.

    Mets suck, why not trade one of the very few chips you have and build for the future?

      The Mets want the best return for any player they control.  They want the best package deal for Wright, a franchise player.  Also, the team getting Wright will only have him for one season.  He has an option for 2013 but it activates IF he’s a Met.  That’s the pretty much the sticking point on why no other team wants to depart with their best prospects.

    Alderson said Wright was the best player on the team (in 2011) tonight. Shocking, just shocking.

    When a team is negotiating with multiple agents for players at the same position, does the teams give each rejected agent a courtesy call when the team signs another player?

      The “courtesy call” was meant to be one from Reyes’ agents giving the Mets a chance to top the Marlins’ final offer before it was accepted. Not one telling the Mets that Reyes was to be signed somewhere else.

    He’ll fit in well in Miami. Hate to see him stay in the NL East – being a Braves fan – I never liked the dude anyway.
