Mike Taking a Hike?
It looks like the Mets and Mike Piazza are getting on the same page in terms of a trade. I think both are realizing that neither is going to win with the other right now. This is the right move the Mets to make, let Piazza go, let him try to win with a contender and then use the money saved to build the club over the next couple of years.
I have to comment about one paragraph in the article, however:
If that happens, it will be up to the Mets to decide whether to trade the best hitter they've ever had, a certain Hall of Famer.
Best hitter the Mets ever had? I remember a young man named Darryl Strawberry who was pretty good. In the six years Piazza has been with the Mets he's posted 123 wins shares, 101 on offense. In his first six years with the Mets, Strawberry posted 151 wins shares, 136 on offense.
