DID THE METS GET ANY NEW PLAYERS? Define new. The reports are Jose Reyes will return.
SLACKISH REACTION: I have gone back and forth on this but now that it’s real I worry about Jose. He pouts when he isn’t the SS. I imagine he liked making $22,000,000 a year. Now he gets neither. Yes he’s a semi-useful utility piece, but I’m not sure he wouldn’t be better off elsewhere, and I’m sure the Mets could find another utility IFer type. I don’t like it.
Sandy says the farm system needs to get stronger? Yeah? Who has been overseeing it? Asking for my friend Omar.
NOT LINKING: If you are new, Not Linking is the son of Rubin’s old morning briefing except I don’t link because the headline tells you all you need to know. The newspaper says JDG wants to sign a long term deal with the Mets. That’s all you need. The newspaper says Matz needs to stay healthy. You don’t say? Not linking.
Dwight Gooden took over the @mets twitter account yesterday. He was asked which current pitcher reminded him of himself. He said Matt Harvey. The walrus was Paul.
