2/2 - The worst contract in baseball by Joshua Fisher
12/8 - THT Live: Bad contract swap mee» by Chuck Brownson
Friday, January 22, 2010
News: The Mets acquired Matthews and cash considerations from the Angels for Brian Stokes, NY Newsday reports.
Analysis: The Associated Press, citing a person familiar with the details, reported the Angels will send the Mets $21 million of the remaining $23 million on Matthews' contract over the next two seasons. For the Mets, Matthews - who can play center field - serves as insurance for Carlos Beltran, who will miss the start of the season as he recovers from right knee surgery. In addition, there are rumblings that this may free the Mets up to make a second deal, possibly for starting pitching, and hopefully not mean that Matthews, whose OPS the past three years is .708, will play over Angel Pagan.
Friday, January 22, 2010
News: The Mets are on the verge of acquiring Matthews from the Angels, Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated reports.
Analysis: No word on the what the Mets would give up and the Angels are expected to pick up a big chunk of the salary for the last two years of the five-year, $50 million deal he signed in November 2006. With Carlos Beltran likely not back until May, and concerns he may be out longer, the Mets wanted to have another center fielder on the roster. However, they likely would be better off letting Angel Pagan play as Matthews' skills have declined rapidly the past few seasons.
