The New York Mets have offered Chris Burke a 7 year, 119 million dollar contract. It's amazing what a few games after 162 can do for a guy
Hey groceries - give him the trade clause you cheap s.o.b. (i didn't mean it, i swear, i was trying to be funny). I love the ASTROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who knows? Maybe the Mets want to overspend the Yankees to prove that they want it more and steal some fan support and create a set of Killer Bees by signing Burke, trade for Bagwell with some hitting prospects, sign all other Bs along the way and make tham the Billion dollar Bs
So Burke is this year's offseason sacrifice to the baseball gods to get us to the promised land again next year? I'll take it that deal.
