You don’t have to be a baseball lifer or a GM to see that the Mets have had a pretty disappointing offseason.
Darryl Strawberry was asked for his assessment of the Mets’ offseason changes Tuesday night, and he gave an answer that will be hard for anyone to argue.
“I’ll put it like this: It could’ve been better,” Strawberry said before he was among the honorees at the 30th annual Thurman Munson awards dinner in Manhattan. “You could’ve put a couple more pieces into that puzzle for them. I know they signed Jason Bay, but the big loss was the (Carlos) Beltran (injury) situation.”
You know the Mets have been pretty shitty when a guy with a major coke problem and a penchant for hookers is criticizing their offseason and nobody so much as bats an eyelash. Darryl Strawberry is the last guy on earth who should be criticizing anything, but even he gets a pass when talking about the New York Mets. Really, having Darryl Strawberry criticize your offseason moves (or lack thereof) is akin to having Roman Polanski criticize who you’re dating. Who cares how old she is, Roman? She’s got a sweet voice!
