So Molina went back to the Giants. Of course who knows really why. Did he think the Giants have a better shot with a lineup that has added Aubrey Huff among others. Who knows. The Mets offered the 35 year old 1 year at 5M plus a vesting option and he settles for 4.5 for 1 year. Maybe he couldn't deal with the drama.
Molina had nice pop and would have been a good addition for the pitchers I am sure but now the Mets need to re think where those dollars will go. Will they add another catcher or use that $4 to sign Sheets and others to a deal . There had been some chat that the Mets are interested in Smoltz, Pinerio and Sheets and were looking at maybe signing 2 of the 3. I say sign all 3. The $4 you saved not getting Molina could go to one of those 3. There is no guarantee that if the Mets sign Sheets he could stay healthy all year. Maybe he would get a tired arm Verducci on MLB last night said his flexor inury should not prevent him from being the pitcher he once was.
Come on Mets be bold. Go for Broke. I better not see them signing Delgado and asking him to go back to playing catcher!!!!!!!!!
