Failure Pays ... For Mets GM
As the Mets were almost done with their latest collapse, it was leaked that the GM was going to get a four year extension. First, the post-season, aka now, not his future, should have been the focus. Second, the GM was part of the problem, in effect doing one good thing last post-season ... even there, JS was largely just a matter of waiting out the competition. The GM clearly was partially to blame for the overreliance on older players etc. For this, he does not just get re-upped, but re-upped for FOUR years? The more I think about it, the more disgusting it seems.
