I bet Reyes is kicking himself in the cojones for not picking up on that Rosetta Stone back in 2003…

If Reyes mastered the art of English…maybe got a nice perm….he too could’ve been up there with David Wright…

but nooooooo

Profesor Reyes tried to flip it on ya

Wright says that these reports aren’t accurate

Let’s be honest. The Mr. Wright image is that of team first. But his ego and or agents want him to get more money than the Santana contract. Imagine if Reyes did that.

Donnie Walsh did it by trading for Camelo Anthony. The owner is the boss , period. Watch for SA to resign/retire by end of next season.

Without a no trade he’s on his way to one of the LA’s right after the all star game, just before the deadline and just before he runs out of gas. Nice guy and a very good player, but not worth the $$ whether the Mets are pinching pennies or not.

Yes, it is more ridiculous. Not surprised though that you don’t think so.

It depends on the clause. Some guys have blanket no trade and some have a partial. I think K-Rod had 10 teams on his list. I don’t remember if Beltraans was full or limited but he did say he would waive it to go to a contender.

The problem with your thinking is a 7 year 125+ million contract for a 31 year old will make him less appealing. They would more than likely have to send over cash with him. I doubt he gets traded. If he signs this deal I put his chances of remaining a lifelong Met at 90%.

Not as ridiculous of weeks of “The Wilpons have no money” I sure hope you like eggs because if you need any just scrape the heaping amounts off your face

Cabrera makes $152.3M over “8 YEARS” yearly avg would be 19M per year

you’re proposing

Wright makes $130M over only “7YEARS” yearly avg would be $18.6M per year

Thats still MIND BOGGLING!

No I had actually never seen Cabrera’s contract before. Seems a little low. Maybe at the time, though (2008) it was the right amount

Out of everyone here…David Wright speaks the best English

were you wondering why Cabrera didn’t get 200 million before today? Or is this another way of justifying something involving Sandy?

By: Connor O'Brien

Connor O'Brien — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 21:44:13 +0000

150 would be ridiculous but i think it’s probably more like 130. Still very high but not quite on same level as Cabrera

Also, how did Cabrera not get $200 million?

Put this contract in the category of “Bad Contract” the second it is signed.

And I thought $106M for Reyes was outlandish. The Wilpons make Loria seem almost sane.

wouldnt go above 7/125

$150 million? If he does turn this down, trade him ASAP. This is ridiculous. They could pull this much money out of their asses for Wright but struggle to add guys during the winter?
