Previously silent at the Winter Meetings, Team President Jeff Wilpon announced the Mets were close to inking Paul Revere to a five year contract. The only thing standing in the deal's way is whether the Mets will allow Revere to park his horse in the parking lot. Right now, Fred Wilpon is against the deal, fearing the horse will drive down attendance, especially if he's been fed too many oats too close to game time. As a way of helping the deal along, Sandy Alderson has agreed to buy ten pounds of oats for Revere's horse just as long as his faithful sidekick is fed AFTER each game.

Now, this is the kind of deal I've been hoping the Mets could make. I bet that horse could make up alot of ground playing centerfield for us.

Screw the oats..we need to load up on Beefareeno.

It's official from Adam Ruben he has signed the 5 year deal and now their will be a Major Press Conference at Citifield on Friday at Noon for this Blockbuster signing

Just in time for "Road Apples Night" at Citi!!

Ugh. I can't see SA saddling us with such a deal.

I bridle at the thought, and something really needs to be done to spur SA into real action. And by that I mean action that will impress the fanbase, hands down (okay, that one was a stretch).

But my horse puns still rein supreme. Everyone else's are just a load of crop.

BRILLIANT!!!

Revere should be great for the stretch run, don't you think?

LOL

Other big deals brewing:
Trigger for CF.
Silver C.
Mr Ed 1st base coach.

"Neigh" on all of them.

Here is what the contract is worth over 100 million dollars with a Full No Trade Clause.

Freds promised us the horses many times before....and we all know now he's full of horsestuff!!

Meh, I don't know, I hear he is on his last ride...

How are we getting him exactly? 1 if by FA, 2 if by trade?

Very Nice.

LOL. Is Franco American still in business? I used to love to eat Roman Frozen Pizzas when I was growing up. Don't think they're made anymore either.

FIVE years? Wow, and we thought the Ollie deal was bad. LOL.

Is it true an apple a day keeps the Phillies at bay?

Very funny, Fargol. Hopefully, they won't invite Paul to any bridal showers.

Mr. Ed might be an improvement over our current pitching coach. Gee Wilburrrr.

Good thing Omar isn't our GM anymore. He might've signed him to a ten year deal.
