Like A Mofo Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 I know a lot of Mets fans are gonna say this is a bad move but if this is done I think its just the opposite: Pedro is going back to the NL which should lenghten his starts a bit, facing a pitcher, in a pitchers park. And he is a face for the organization. People will pay to watch him pitch on a weeknight in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverNRed Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The Mets really need to bring back their royal blue hats with the solid orange logo. Those goofy black hats with the multi-colored NY logos look like Yankee knock-offs from some movie where they couldn't secure the actual rights to portray the Yankees. What? Pedro? Oh, uh, alright whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 no signing just gauranteed 4th year 158713[/snapback] Every Boston media outlet is reporting that it is done, although the Sox haven't been officially notified. Too damn bad, he was GREAT here, and no offense but the Mets are still going to blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 So if Clemons comes back for one more year, he can throw at Pedro's head, sweet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duey Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 ESPN had noted that with the Mets offering the 4th year, the Sox admitted that they would be out of the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBob Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well, Petey's been damn good for the Sox, but it is not clear that he has 3 more years left in him let alone 4. I wish him the best, but I think the Sox made a very reasonable offer considering the longevity concerns and the Mets are paying him way to freakin much. I guess I can't blame him for taking the cash. The Sox will ultimately be better served spending that money eslewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, as good of a signing as it is for the Mets, I think it's just as good a NON-signing by the Red Sox. The increased workload and wear-and-tear in the AL wouldn't be good for Pedro (or his lifetime state, which he is understandably worried about. He's got his ring, and it's time for him to go. Good luck and thank you, Pedro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and thanks, Pedro! 158759[/snapback] Your last statement is a good one, and maybe that is part of the reason the Red Sox let him walk. Maybe they figured his fragile frame and the fact he has now won his WS, maybe his motivation wouldnt be the same. If I were a Red Sox fan, I would look at this as a "wait and see" and see how the team looks after all the signings, trades, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob2232 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Anyone think he will actually try to swing the bat this year? LOL As a yanks fan, this is the perfect place for him....Not on the Red Sox, and more importantly NOT on the yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
