Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 3717539, member: 210"] After seeing the contract offers the Mets were never getting Bauer once the Dodgers came in on the deal. Mets offered more money over three years but Dodgers offered 5mm more in year 2. It‘s pretty clear Bauer was dragging this out to go home and play. It will be interesting to see how Mets view the luxury tax line moving forward... Dodgers clearly don’t care about it but it seems Mets are basing their long term strategy around not breaking the cap too often. Sherman’s article in the post today about the whole thing is pretty good. The Dodgers are turning into the Jeter era Yanks where star power matters more than money. [/QUOTE]
