Jose Reyes and Josh Thole feel bad for David Wright and New York Mets fans

June 16th, 2014 2:11 pm

 

Blue Jays SS Jose Reyes and C Josh Thole say they feel bad for David Wright, who continues to struggle through a rebuilding process in Queens, they told columnist Anthony Reiber this past weekend (Newsday, June 15).

 

“I was there from 2009 through 2012, and it was ‘wait till next year, wait till next year,’” said Thole. “The hardest thing in the baseball world, in my opinion, is to play in New York for the Mets. Everything is a story there.”

 

Reyes, Thole and the Blue Jays are 40-30 and in first place in the American League East.

 

“After a little while, you just want to win,” Reyes said. “It’s not about the money, because we are already set. We've got a contract and it’s now about winning. We’re not getting any younger, you know? What is he, 31? I’m 31. I want to win.”

Maybe this isn't thread worthy. Whatever; slow news day. Still, it's weird being other end of the "they're finally on a winning organization" discussion. The saddest part is that I found this article on a Mets discussion forum. Must feel like a kick to the nuts.

 

One of the comments:

 

"When JOSH THOLE is happy he left your team you got troubles. JOSH THOLE feels bad for the Mets.

WORST owners in sports. I envy Clippers fans. Someone please follow Wilpon around with a recorder going. We need to get him on tape saying something racist." http://i.imgur.com/py2PxcN.gif

Soooo..... Trade for Wright??

!!!

[jaysblue]

Screw Adrian Beltre, trade for David Wright!!!!

[Laika]

Soooo..... Trade for Wright??

 

107 million $ for his age 32-37 seasons + would cost Sanchez, Norris, and a third Norrisy piece.

 

The player is Wright but the price is Rong...... bitch?

[jays4life19]

Poor David Wright. Get's paid millions and millions of dollars to play a game on a losing team. Everyone should feel terrible for this guy.

Listened to same kind of thing in Calgary with Iggy. Poor poor Iggy and his $8mm per. At some point the franchise player is supposed to help make the team win aren't they?

I thought it was odd that the Mets extended Wright in the same off-season were they traded their #1 pitcher (Dickey) and started their rebuild. That being said if Wright wanted to win so badly, he could have hit free agency and signed with a contender. At worst, he might have left some money on the table doing that but it's not like he would have had to play for free either. Contenders, TB excepted, usually aren't broke. It was more important for him to stay with one team and I respect that but I'm not going to feel bad for something that was entirely his own decision. And I absolutely agree that Thole and Reyes should maybe win something before they feel bad for anybody.

[Angrioter]

Wright for Aaron Sanchez++

[G-Snarls]

Wright for Aaron Sanchez++

 

Would be sad to see Sanchez and Syndergaard reunited on another team. But yeah I'd do it. What an infield.

Also, let's not trade top prospects for a guy that still has over 100 million left on his contract.

How could you put the shortcomings of an entire franchise on one player? Smh

[Atothe]

I'd rather have Adrian beltre

Good point

 

Sounds like Reyes and Thole are planning for an ALCS appearance already

[G-Snarls]

I'd rather have Adrian beltre

 

Me too due to length of contract

I didn't. I said "help" and that doesn't mean on their own. They had a lot of talent. He and Kipper and a few others weren't able to put them over the top or even close after 04 run. IMO he bares some responsibility for that as C - and highest paid player. I don't think Im alone in that view.

I'm f***ing with you idk anything about hockey lol

[fireballW]

Beltre and Utley are both better fits than Wright. He's in the midst of his worst year, is 31 years old and have a very expensive contract. I would not give up even a decent prospect to get Wright, since I think his contract will have negative value.

[Sammy225]

Why would Captain America want to play in Canada...

 

To unite with superman..... Duh....
