Update – 3:30 p.m.: It seems the Daily News has edited this Madden column. It now reads…
They won't spend the money for Holliday, Bay or Lackey and apparently, they're only interested in signing low-budget players, having shown little or no interest in Byrd, Figgins, DeRosa, Wolf or even Staten Island's Jason Marquis, while waiting for their markets to come to them.
Very, very interesting.
Original post: From Bill Madden in today’s Daily News…
Mets? Did somebody say the Mets? They won't spend the money for Holliday, Bay or Lackey and apparently, they're only interested in signing low-budget Latin players, having shown little or no interest in Byrd, Figgins, DeRosa, Wolf or even Staten Island's Jason Marquis, while waiting for their markets to come to them. At the same time, the Phillie sand Braves wasted no time in addressing their needs. Sad.
Emphasis mine.
I know columnists are paid to be controversial, but this is a bit much.
Also, did Madden miss the Chris Coste signing?
