Ben Nicholson-Smith over at MLBTradeRumors.com relays a few quotes from Omar Minaya, concerning the Mets preferring to sign a power bat in Jason Bay instead of going after John Lackey, who as we all know was signed to a 5-year, $82.5 million deal by the Red Sox. I mean, it’s not as if the rotation needed improving before the line-up anyway. Of course not.
Also, it’s clear that the team’s preference to sign a power bat had nothing to do with the roughly $18 million savings. Nope.
