In today’s New York Daily News John harper writes about Alex Rodriguez and his decision to go to Texas for $252 million in 2000 instead of coming to play for the Mets. Though ARod has regrets about not playing for the Mets I can say that I do not. I agreed with the 24+1 idea […]

Ken Davidoff reports in today’s Newsday that the Mets may not be so hot on signing Alex Rodriguez. When asked about the possibility of signing ARod, Omar Minaya said “We’re very happy with Jose Reyes. We’re very happy with David Wright.
