The Mets payroll is currently around 90 million dollars (115 million - 12 million for Glavine - 7 million for LoDuca - 6 million for Green - 3 million for Estrada's salary which they will dump + 2 million for the raise that Castillo got). They've cut over 25 million since last year and they now have a new stadium coming which will bring in extraordinary revenue, a new tv network SNY (cash cow), have had incredible increases in gates the last few years, received 20 million yearly in Citifield naming rights, and have increased ticket prices through the roof on us, and they'll continue to raise ticket prices. It's time to start acting like a BIG MARKET TEAM and have a payroll that is more than 35% of the NYY and more than 55% of Boston. Even if the Mets added Willis, Pudge, AND Santana.... that would still only put the payroll at around 123 million [95 million + 13 million for Pudge + 7 million for Willis+ 13 million for Santana (his salary this year) - 5 million w/ Schneider going to Detroit]. And Delgado's and Martinez salaries (combined ~35 million) will come off next year, as will Wagner's salary (13 million). And thus it should not be a problem to give Pudge the extension for 13 million in '09. Yes he might be on the list and yes he is not the same offensive player he used to be- but he is an upgrade both offensively and defensively (especially) over the cr*p catchers we currently have. And he is a winning player that could help change the culture of this choking franchise. I'm not saying they have the chips to get Santana in addition to Willis, Pudge, but if they did, MONEY SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE for what is supposed to be a BIG MARKET TEAM. There is no reason this team cannot have a payroll in the 150 -160 million range, if need be, with all of the incredible revenue streams pouring in! And getting Williis, Pudge, etc. would still only put it at 123 million with the math above- and you can still sign a few relievers, etc. and have it be under 130 million. I am completely fed up and disgusted with Freddie Coupons, and as I said, the worst thing that ever happened to this franchise was when Doubleday was bought out. So just sign Livan Herandez, raise ticket prices 20%, and go finish in 3rd place Freddie Coupons..I hate you. I will not spend a penny on this cheap, pathetic team. And if any of you are happy/content with this, just go ahead and continue to go to games, buy merchandise, etc., and continue to get ripped off by this disgrace of a franchise.

Detroit gets the setup guy they lacked last year, cheap #5 starter, and salary relief. Church and Jones (last year #s not included) are a wash. They might want Pelfrey instead of Humber which might make me think twice. Heilman, Humber, and Church for Willis and Jacque Jones would get detroit the same ~15mil savings.

That said, I don't think this move would hurt our chances of trading for Johan. The Twins might want Church though. A little dream world..... Santana Pedro O.P. Maine Willis I will wake up now.

I would think that the Tigers were willing to give the money to Pudge bec. they had no idea they could get Cabrerra. Now with that there does not have to be a power hitting catcher that is over paid. I would easily do a Humber, Schnieder, Church trade. Maybe throw in a reliever as well. I have seen on Mlbtraderumors that this trade is still alive.

Whether he was eating with Cabrera or what i dont know, but he lost flexibility. Ron Darling did a great job of breaking it down on SNY when we were playing them, going split screen with Willis now and Willis two years ago. He lost his leg kick and turn due to less flexibility caused by being too big. So at this point, Willis for Humber and Gomez, take the salary dump of rodriguez since they can move Inge back to catcher, and maybe we got a deal. I would hate to throw Heilman in, but we may have to, but I would take willis at the back end of our rotation, with a possibility that he could get to the front end if he cuts some calories.
