Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5321306, member: 173"] The Nimmo contract and the $158MM offer to Alonso are enough to justify the firing of Billy Eppler. I’m absolutely thrilled he’s gone and Sterns is running the show now. Nimmo was smart to jump on that offer; Pete should have when he had the chance. I’m noting this since I see some comments on social media like: “why is Nimmo worth his contract and Pete’s not getting anything close to that!” The answer is Nimmo isn’t worth his contract, it’s part of why Eppler is gone, and Sterns isn’t required to make stupid business decisions in the interest of “fairness” just because his predecessor was bad at his job. Hopefully Pete comes to the realization he’s misplayed this as badly as possible and settles for what the Mets are offering (or close to it) by about noon today…much longer than that and I think the ship has well and truly sailed.
