Shortstop Jose Reyes will not be getting a super-huge contract from the Mets. "He thinks he's going to get Carl Crawford money," Wilpon said, referring to Crawford's seven-year, $142 million contract with the Boston Red Sox. "He's had everything wrong with him. He won't get it."On right fielder Carlos Beltran, Wilpon refers to Beltran's huge postseason with the Houston Astros in 2004 and says: "We had some schmuck in New York who paid him based on that one series. He's sixty-five to seventy percent of what he was."
Uh, Freddy-my-lass, you were that "schmuck in New York who paid him based on that one series." And you still are!
I read those quotes and more (David Wright: "very good player. Not a superstar.") on MLBTR. He must have been drunk when he gave that interview.
