Where do you get “weasel” from? I’ve not seen a single thing to suggest Pete isn’t acting in good faith. Negotiations can take a while. Eh I was being a dick, G. I'm at a point in my life that I feel en- titled so be a dick... like it's grandfathered in or something...
I think it's time to just say, 'this is what we'll give you and your agent and if that is not satisfactory then thanks and good luck.' Be a Met, or be a weasel...
And it's, '**** or get off the pot' -- not piss. Not to pick nits or nuttin'... And I'm pretty sure Pete is not the one holding up him signing on the dotted line here or anywhere.
I wouldn't say Pete's a bad first baseman. If anything, I'd say he's improved with each year. Each and every year. If I said he was an above average first baseman would anyone hurl a sneaker at my noggin?
