The day that New York Mets fans stop complaining about how the team isn’t spending enough money is the day that….something really, really improbable happens. It could be when Jason Bay can actually hit, or maybe when Bartolo Colon can smack a homer – oh wait, that legitimately occurred. In real life.
But fans must give credit where it’s due. General manager Sandy Alderson did buck up and pay star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes the four year, $110 million deal he wanted, including the all important full no-trade clause Cespedes and his camp so overwhelmingly desired.
