Thank goodness the 200 SO's are out of NY. Was never a fan of Granderson while he was with the Yanks.

I loved the guy he is a class act. Thats where it ends for me. His OBP k's and avg are a killer. 15 mil a year for that WOW. I mean he is not even stealing bases anymore.

Really was hoping the Red Sox wouldn't pursue him any further, he doesn't seem like a good fit for the team. With that said, he usually played well against the Sox so it's nice he is out of the AL East.

Good to see some of the lower payroll teams actually spending money this offseason. Definitely good for baseball IMO.

Do the mets give up a draft pick for this signing. I think their first round (10) is protected but do they give up another??

There were just too many times where he'd be up in big spots and strike out or hit a pop up. His average is awful and all he did was hit homers in that park. He's going to come back down to a 25-30 homer power and since he forgot how to steal bases there's no way he's worth 15 mil a year.

Glad we got that draft pick though Same with Cano. Not such a big deal that we gave ours up for McCann and Ells now.

I was very surprised to see he got a 4 year deal, especially with that AAV, but when I saw it was the Mets that signed him I was less surprised, lol. He is an all of nothing hitter but they are paying him hoping he can hit 30+ home runs, as it's not easy to get a power bat on the FA market. Not a great signing but it hope it works out okay for them.

Agree. I wish the Mets and Granderson nothing but the best but sadly this could be Jason Bay PT. 2 as stated earlier in this thread
