Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5321225, member: 27"] The reported ‘last ditch’ Mets offer to Pete was in the $68-70 million range for 3 years. Hiring Boras and firing his old agent, who had a $158 million offer on the table that Pete passed on, was a bad mistake. Pete bet on himself and lost. I assume at least one team will be willing to beat the last ditch Met offer. But even if no one does, the Mets have made it clear they need a decision or will move on. I would guess this last offer has an expiration date. Probably the end of this weekend. It may have already expired. If so, I am sad. I am quite sure without Boras giving his advice, the Mets and Pete would have come to an agreement. Despite all the rhetoric, I still think a deal might get done. I think the Mets add that big hitter they need by Sunday at 10 pm. Sounds like they are close to adding a big name reliever too. [/QUOTE]
