Jose Reyes, Sandy Alderson, And Joel Sherman Walk Into A Bar...
Today in the Post, Joel Sherman asserts the following with respect to the Mets' plan (or not) to let Jose Reyes walk and trade David Wright: The Mets kept Reyes on what likely are to be two false premises: They were contenders, and they had a chance to retain the shortstop in free agency. Indeed...
Joel Sherman's Dog Whistle
Joel Sherman wrote an opinion piece in Sunday's New York Post that was clearly intended to rile up Mets fans.
