In a recent magazine article, Fred Wilpon comes off somewhat like George Steinbrenner. "Fred suffers," says Saul Katz, Wilpon's brother-in-law and the president of the team. "He really thinks they should go 162-0." ... Several times, Wilpon sounds less like a detached tycoon and more like Freddy from Brooklyn, venting his complaints to Steve Somers on WFAN after midnight. On Jose Reyes, the often-injured shortstop with an expiring contract: "He thinks he's going to get Carl Crawford money. He's had everything wrong with him. He won't get it." On David Wright, the centerpiece third baseman: "A really good kid. A very good player. Not a superstar." Source: The New York Times
wow, i didnt think there'd be much chance wright or reyes would go anywhere but this certainly makes me think differently. god i love the patheticness that has become the mets.
