A shocking headline, I know. But Jeff Wilpon is once again proving why virtually every Mets fan holds him in less than high esteem.
During a luncheon with Mets beat writers on Thursday, the younger Wilpon was asked why the Mets are not making a play for either Bryce Harper or Manny Machado. His response?
“I don’t know how many teams have two $30 million players.”
First of all, the Mets do not even have one $30 million player. Yoenis Cespedes will be paid $29 million this season (nitpicky, I know). But the Mets won’t even be paying that; insurance will cover a good chunk.
