People never took the Go-Gos seriously enough.

[metsmarathon]

what was the present value of the santana deal, 'yknow, after hte deferred money is accounted for?

what utter nonsense.

OE: per cot's contracts, the present day value of santana's deal is $123.1M due to the deferrals. but, y'know, why avail oneself of hte information that freely obtainable on the internets when you can just blast and blast and blast away at a talking point.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think we just need to get the ghost of Dick Young to step in and screw this whole thing up.

[ashie62]

I hope we are not halfway there..

Ed Coleman says... DONE DEAL!

Matt Weber, MLB.com wrote: The Mets and third baseman David Wright came to terms on a seven-year, $122 million extension on Friday to keep the six-time All-Star and face of the franchise in Flushing, according to Ed Coleman of WFAN Radio in New York. The Mets have yet to make an announcement on the deal. Wright, who will turn 30 on Dec. 20, will make $16 million in 2013, the final year of his existing contract. Then he'll make $122 million over the next seven years. The deal will make Wright the highest-paid player in club history. In total, Wright's new deal will be for $138 million over the next eight years. Johan Santana's six-year, $137.5 million contract from 2008 had previously been the club's most expensive deal. Coleman, WFAN's Mets beat reporter, reported the deal just before 2 a.m. ET on Friday. Wright, who grew up a Mets fan in Virginia, was drafted by New York with the 38th pick in the 2001 First-Year Player Draft, and made his Major League debut in 2004. In his nine-year career in Flushing, he has taken over the franchise lead in hits, with 1,426, and RBIs, with 818. He hit .306 with 21 homers and 93 RBIs in 156 games for New York in 2012.

If Coleman is right, that's something to celebrate!!!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Like I said, never a thing to worry about.

[metirish]

Great news, I'm in my car waiting to go in to work, just tuned to the Fan to hear the news.... Carton " David Wright is a Met for life, makes no sense to me maybe it does to you", STFU asshole.

[metirish]

"@JonHeymanCBS: #mets deal with wright at $138M, 8 yrs is confirmed. pending physical"

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Awesome.







So, then... where's Dickey going?

[metsmarathon]

why is the $16M he was already due being factored into the silly math of "biggest contract evarrrrr", if only to allow the story to stay the same that he wanted in excess of santana money, when clearly, he did not.

[metsmarathon]

also, hooray!

[bmfc1]

Hooray, good job... now add. They didn't get better by keeping him. They had him already. Make the team better around him.

Hope David is buying the drinks for everyone down in Florida for Murphy's wedding tomorrow.

[Edgy MD]

If you're not already working on a script to the hi-LAR-rious blockbuster comedy Murphy's Wedding, I sure am.

Well, there was the precedent of that other player who should have been a Met for life not being signed last year.

[Edgy MD]

Sure, but many of the other circumstances were different, including the signals from the parties.

Nice job by Sandy to get the first priority taken care of before December.

Whipped us up a sweet side of Bixler while the main dish was in the oven, too.

[MFS62]

I don't care Who's on first or What's on second, as long as David Wright's on third.
(Well, I do, but it doesn't flow.)

I think I'd rather give macaroni and cheese a roster spot.

[metsmarathon]

bixler's no mashed turnips is he?

[Edgy MD]

Well, my subtler point is that hopefully this hasn't held put too many other operations.

What's Paddy Power's line on whether Dickey gets extended?

As soon as he visits the Wifey Watch thread, presumably.
