You have several young players who are ARB elible (Maine) as well as players who's contracts are ending where we will look for replacements (Catcher, 1B, RF) and we'll be having the same conversations about why the Mets can't go out and sign superstars at every position. This is why Omar is hesitant to trade away all his prospects. He needs some of them in the mix to fill holes so he can go out and sign some big names for the mix in future years. CaseStreet,

This team needs pitching badly. If the Mets were going to spend $20 mil per for 7-10 years, they would have made a run at CC. I just don't believe the dollars are there. I also firmly believe the Mets want to leave themselves some wiggle room to make a mid-season trade for the that top of the rotation pitcher. At the end of the season that payroll may very well be 150. I'll check out you super high tech name Sorry, I just don’t think Tex is a priority. This team needs pitching badly.

The Mets are perfectly happy with Delgado's 40 HR season last year. Omar: Hey Jeff can i get 200 mil dollars? i need to sign Teixiera. J Wilpon: Idk i'll ask my dad. Dad!!! can Omar have 200 mil dollars to buy Teixiera!! F Wilpon: 200 Mil dollars, don't we already have a 1B who hit 40 HR last season and finished in the top 10 in MVP voting. Omar: No we're going to trade Delgado for Andy Sonnanstine F Wilpon: Andy Sonnanstine!! Well in that case here you go then buddy Omar: Gracias the mets have the money to sign Teixiera but they dont have a need.

First, I don't believe the whole idea that they will keep their budge at $137M. It'll be at least $150M. Second, there is only an $8M difference between Delgado and Tex's price which can be made up by not overpaying for SP, OF or 2B. Plus, I'm sure Omar is looking to dump some bullpen salary.
