Well... they paid a lot, but signing him had a much larger effect than just getting a good pitcher. It changed the whole outlook of the franchise. It gave them credibility in a time where the organization had none. Players want to be Mets now, rather than just wanting to take the money they have to offer. |
well said.
Even Beltran admitted that the only reason he became interested was when after Pedro signed. The mets then lured Delgado and the rest is history.
Made a great case to Wright and Reyes to sign long-term as they'd be able to field a competitive team year in and year out. |
