News: Alou Going No Place
According to Jon Heyman at SI.com, citing
‘a person familiar with their thinking,’ the Mets are planning to exercise the $7.5 million option on Moises Alou‘s contract.
Alou played in just 87 games for the Mets this season, during which he hit .341 with 13 HR and 49 RBI.
The Mets were 47–40 in games that Alou played. They were 41–34 in games he did not.
Heyman also sets odds on the possible replacement candidates for Joe Torre, which includes Bobby Valentine at 15 to 1.
