Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5312897, member: 173"] Listening to David Samson yesterday, he didn't think there was much of a market for Pete - and none at the asking price. Boras is currently trying to create demand out of thin air, but its unlikely the Mets will get lured in by that. This will probably play out similar to the 4 guys Boras overvalued last year - there will be a last minute, short term deal with opt outs with the Mets right before or after spring training starts. Its unlikely opt-outs for a 1st baseman who is over 30 and his performance has been declining, and will likely need to be only a DH soon has any value at all...but it'll have to be included to allow Boras to save face and maybe not get fired by Pete. The risk for Pete is the Mets decide not to play chicken and move on from him before it ever gets to that point...he's in real danger of being left in no-man's land at the end of this right now.
