So, the Mets signed Hank Blank to a 1-year $1.5 million contract yesterday. The reaction was predictable-- déjà vu all over again. And while giving a 38-year-old backup catcher a $1.5MM contract has shades of the Alex Cora deal; remember some key differences between Cora and Blanco that I have outlined in this chart: Pretty clearly, the Mets are making a conscientious effort to sign their...

The made it official with a press release that Chris Coste has been signed to a one year contract and will be added to the 40 man roster. While it's not clarified in the press release the contract is believed to be a major/ minor league split, in which he'll be on the 40 man but can start the year in the minors, Cory Sullivan had a similar deal last year. Most of us know Coste as the 33 y/o back-up...

The best thing that could happen for us is if Omar can convince teams Angel Pagan is a starter. Pagan is a fourth outfielder the more you use him the more his weaknesses get exposed, but Pagan may have shined enough in 2009 that a team looking for an inexpensive center fielder maybe willing to actually give up a decent piece for him. Cory Sullivan could easily replace Pagan as the fourth outfielder,...

The Mets have signed Chris Coste to what appears to be a guaranteed minor league contract, similar to what Cory Sullivan recieved last year. Coste will be added to the 40 man roster making it easier to be recalled if he doesn't make the team out of spring training, plus he earns time towards the pension. With reports that the Mets are close on Blanco as the back-up in the majors, Coste will more then...

First they picked up lights-out LOOGY Casey Fossum, then they brought back Argenis Reyes, before capping the excitement with the signing of Cory Sullivan. At the time, the Mets were unaware that Jeremy Reed was part of the [...]

Bill Madden at the Daily News recently wrote that the Mets will be looking to cut payroll this offseason. If true, this is bad news for anyone hoping to see Matt Holliday , John Lackey or Jason Bay in a Mets uniform. Madden's estimate that there will only be $20 million available to spend on free agents seems a little low, but a $40 million estimate seems too high. If none of the big three free agents...
