““(Martinez’s) offensive potential is significant. (He’s) a special offensive player…he can do anything he wants offensively.””

it aint happening. its not that its not financially possibly, its just not happening. the yankees need him more than we do. I think we should focus on dunn he wont require as much money or years as tex and can bat 5th, can provide power, and can hit it out of anywhere, so doubtful his HR totals would chance much.

Texiera is great and all but i’d be surprised if he signs with the Mets. I’m thinking the Yankees, Orioles, and Braves have the inside track with the Orioles being the most likely destination. Peter Angelos will open up the purse strings and give him anything he wants since he’s a Maryland boy

excellent point i dont think alot of people realize just how much money delgado actually makes i believe its about 17 million. so if el duque is gone those two salaries could afford to pay tex 20 mill a season no problem.

So true. I could see the Yankees just throwing everything & anything to get Tex.

I would love if he signed with us though – would be the perfect fit to replace Delgado in the coming years.

Wait, the Mets got Johan? Huh. I’m surprised Matt hasn’t reported it. He’s usually on top of those things.

Tex will make just as much as Delgado, so i feel, there will be plenty of money for him not to mention el duque’s contract and pedro’s time as a met is also likely over. thus, we have plenty of money to sign tex and perez to their deals.
