I usually find Howard Megdal an interesting read. At his best he adds 1.4, 1.6, 0.8 and 0.2 and gets 4 (meaning he sees some angles others don’t)…and sometimes 2+2=17 (meaning he sees angles others don’t.) A good read today even though I disagree with the second half of the final sentence below.
Considering that the only thing that kept the Mets from losing as much money in 2012 as in 2011 was cutting salary, that certainly makes sense, and greatly complicates signing Wright long-term. Not only will an extension that increases Wrights 2013 salary be difficult to manage, convincing Wright to stick around without otherwise improving the team will be even harder.
