Here is our latest addition to “According To Sources” courtesy of Andy McCullough of the The Star-Ledger. In a post today McCullough reports that a “person with knowledge of the discussions indicated the Mets were “not close” to a resolution with either player”.
According To Sources History
- 10/6/2012 – it’s conceivable Wright and Dickey will have new deals in place, at least in principle, by the time the World Series begins later this month.
- 10/9/2012 – The Mets are expected to open negotiations with an offer for somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million for star third baseman David Wright.
- 10/10/2012 – David Wright’s camp intends to milk talks and draw things out until at least after the World Series, in hopes of reaching a better compromise at the last minute.
- 10/13/2012 – Mets could schedule a meeting and begin formal contract negotiations next week & it’s too early to tell if it’s still possible for either player to be signed this month.
- 10/25/2012 – Contract negotiations between the Mets and Wright & Dickey remain very preliminary and have not advanced to the point of talking years or dollars and they are still talking about when to really get talking.
- 11/6/2012 – The Mets are “not close” to a resolution with either Wright or Dickey.

AKA none of the beat writers know anything but still need to write articles to keep their jobs.

just do something so we can actually have a real future to discuss!
and I still think that this is all part of Sandy’s grand plan, to set up the exit strategy. They will be on the market and traded by the winter meetings. And I am looking forward to the carnage (er, additional moves) to follow.
but mostly, I want to see the people that have been screaming about sandy not “doing anything” screaming about sandy ‘doing something”.

I second all of this.
Trade them both, give me a hilarious offseason of fanbase meltdown, and bring in a real future for the team.
