First off, Perez isnt done as a Met because there is too much money tied into him. 36 Mil for 3 years. Based on his performances this year, I find it unlikely somebody will trade for him (even if the Mets eat a chunk of it), if anything he may be demoted to the minors for a short period, but other than that you can count on him stinking it up whether it be the bullpen or the rotation in a Met uni.
They could keep trying and hope he mis-clicks.Quote:

Right, but by doing that, that's accepting assignment to the minor leagues. And, once they're added to the MLB roster, if the team tries to demote them, they have the right to refuse it.Quote:

No. Players with more than 5 years of service time have the right to refuse assignment to the minor leagues. He has a guaranteed contract, he's getting all $36 million.Quote:

NVM. Curtis Granderson makes up for it with a 2 run shot.
Unlike you, the fan, the Wilpons' are actually writing checks out to him. Despite what you may do with under-performing pitchers with capacious contracts in Baseball Mogul, in real life owners demand the players to be on the field. Expecting a 12 million dollar player to be demoted* any time soon is about as delusional as me expecting to do Donald Trump's daughter tonight.Quote:

*Or traded or flat out released
The Mets come up with new and creative ways to piss me off every game.
Edit: POST 1111!!! ZOMG :D
