Because, you know, it was such a great idea to get him in the first place.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post believes the Mets are shopping OF Gary Matthews Jr., “and the Reds could be a possibility.”
The Mets acquired Matthews Jr. from the Angels in January for Brian Stokes, and are only responsible for paying $2 million of the money due to him the next two seasons.
Buyer’s remorse much? Of course the Mets want to get rid of Matthews, but who on Earth is going to want him? His best years were fueled by HGH, and those years weren’t very good, anyway. I mean, when you acquire a guy for Brian Stokes and don’t have to pay him much, doesn’t that say enough about his value? What’s next, the Mets are going to try and package Mike Jacobs and Fdernando Tatis? This isn’t an 18-team fantasy league, Minaya, this is Major League Baseball. Stop embarassing yourself.
