Jason Fry is a Brooklyn writer whose first memories include his mom leaping up and down cheering for Rusty Staub. Check out his other writing here. Got something to say?

I’m all for the Mets securing the services of better players, and I’m fairly certain Curtis Granderson is better than what they had before they got him. Perhaps because I didn’t expect the Mets to actually get him […] 16 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2014 Mets, Cliff Floyd, Curtis Granderson, Jason Bay, Johan Santana, Marlon Byrd, Mike Piazza, Money, Pedro Martinez, Vladimir Guerrero, Willie Montanez Five Mets who were never the shiniest available objects glistening in the display case of a given free agent market stopped being Mets altogether this week.
