Gammons: Mets did not insure Beltran’s contract [Quote]
Everyone in the business understands that the Mets did not insure Beltran, so that when team physician Dr. David Altcheck and trainer Ray Ramirez signed off on Dr. Richard Steadman's decision to perform arthroscopic surgery in Vail, Colo., it was clear they were afraid that their worst time-frame fears might be realized and that Beltran could be out for -- and paid for -- much of the 2010 season.

‘Off-field news’ coming?
Here’s a tidbit from MetsBlog this morning…
…speaking of honoring people, from what i can tell, having talked with people connected to the team today, the Mets are getting very, very close to announcing some sort of news about this type of off-field stuff, though i doubt it has anything to do with retiring numbers…
Matt Cerrone says the news could come as early as today.
Some possibilities:
- Lowering the outfield walls
- Moving the outfield walls
- Mets Hall of Fame details
- Renaming of things around the stadium
- Ticket prices (doubtful)
- Personnel changes
Or it could be something else entirely. What do you think the news will be?

Mets to hold voluntary minicamp
According to Brian Costa, the Mets will hold a voluntary 3-day minicamp at their complex in Port St. Lucie next week.
Costa tweets that Oliver Perez, Jon Niese, John Maine, Daniel Murphy and Johan Santana are among the players likely attending.
Surprised David Wright and Jeff Francoeur aren’t on this list, though they may be attending and just not listed.
Or they’re at Howard Johnson’s house.

Ex-Met: Jose Offerman ‘punches’ umpire [Video]
Jose Offerman, who was a Met for 53 games, “punched” a Dominican League umpire and it was captured on video.
I guess it’s safe to say Offerman has no future in boxing.

Another Minaya quote
“It was a very good conversation. Everything is fine. Listen, we have no problems with Carlos Beltran. I have no problem with him and ownership has no problem. We love him. The only issue was with the process, not the player.”
