News: Mets Meet with Chapman
On Friday, the Mets met with Aroldis Chapman and his agent in New York.
According to David Lennon of Newsday, it was not clear if the two sides discussed financial parameters, but it is believed that Chapman is seeking a contract in the $40 – $60 million range and the Mets are not expected to aggressively pursue Chapman.
…while i think the idea of a 100 mph left handed pitcher is enticing, it goes back to what i have been saying about not taking chances…this is another pitcher with tremendous potential, but even if the investment required is only half of what is being speculated, he is not a known quantity and i feel that the Mets are better suited to acquire players who are not injury prone and have a major league resume, even if they cost more…
