YEa yea yea just like Guerrero’s back was the reason why we didnt sign him. Our owners are CHEAP! PERIOD! Once they hear the Yankees may be interested they put their tail between their legs and run away and hide like little girls. We will always be second rate to the Yankees with these bums as our owners AND if you disagree than you are in denial.

the Mets don’t need Lackey

they need Holliday & 2 steady pitchers ala Wolf & Marquis that can actually pitch 200 innings unlike Maine, & Perez

On mlbtraderumors.com they have the top 50 free agents and where they think those players will land. They have the Mets getting Holliday, Wolf and Penny with Lackey going to the Yankees.
I have to say that I would not mind that at all. I would love it even more if that 3 way trade that send Castillo packing and brings in Overbay happens cause that means we will be going hard at Hudson.

Santan
Lackey
Maine
Pelfrey
Ollie

Santana
Wolf
Penny
Maine
Perez

I would rather have option 2. As for the lineup, the Mets would be a much deeper team with more run production if they added Overbay, Hudson and Holliday

Is there a history with Lackey’s arm that we should know about?

Worst case scenario we sign Lackey and he gets hurt. Best case scenario we sign Lackey and not only get someone that can give us 17-20 wins but one of the best 1-2 punches in baseball.
To me its a no brainer. You have to go with the upside of that deal and sign him. The last couple of months of the season and the playoffs he looked pretty healthy to me

The Mets should be able to get him. They should get him because if they don’t the Yankees will get him and they wil probably win another WS. Omar should have LAckey and Holliday or BAy on the top of his list.

Jon Heyman of SI.com feels the Mets will not pursue free-agent RHP John Lackey…

Keyword: FEELS
He wishes the Mets don’t pursue him, so that the Yanks get him…

Mr Omar;
actions speak louder than words!
