Why would fred wilpon attempt to nickel and dime the best pitcher in baseball and hold up the greatest deal in the history of the mets????? This is an owner who is waiting for the the revenue landslide a new stadium brings, which will be an absurd amount. With that in mind it makes cringe to see the mets play a lame song and dance over a few million bucks. There is no point to it. If the mets dont close this deal the franchise is a complete joke with a losing small market mentality. Fred just say, " ok, johan 6 years 150 million, are we good?" the little people will hammer out the details and away we go. Santana is only 27 and is now moving to the national league where instead of facing a dangerous DH 3/4 times a night he will face the opposing pitcher 3 times if he is typically going 6-7 innings. The trade is a steal, now seal the the deal, are you just happy to win the steak knives and not the Cadillac?
