According to Metsblog

there is a god

Very nice.

OH LORD, YES!

I wonder it this is an indication the Mets will go out and get ... nah, no sense getting all hyped up.

Can someone tell me why the team would not, at a minimum, have him come in for ST?

Yeah, more than likely more of the same, but I dont understand why they would not have him come back and try and compete for a position?

They are deferring the contract so that they won't have to pay his full amount this year.

It frees up a lot of space this offseason.

Because he didn't want to be here anymore either.

OBAMA YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKING!!!

CELEBRATE GOOD OBAMA CMONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"but I dont understand why they would not have him come back and try and compete for a position?"

Good question, but maybe the Mets, like pretty much every Met fan, does not want to see him in uniform ever again.

I dont put that on Bay, I put that on the manager. Sure Bay stunk, but running him out there every day was more of an indication of poor management, rather than Bay's inadequacies.

I mean same difference, but they should have done this a while ago.

........................I'm completely shocked in the best way possible.

"I dont put that on Bay, I put that on the manager. "

Assuming the manager had a choice, then yes, I agree.

This is a great move. I didn't think they would do it because of the money. I was hoping Melky would come here and share his, um, trainer, with Bay. Just kidding. Bay was awful, this is addition by subtraction.
