  • Mets Sign Shaun Marcum

    yes, an actual Mets free agent signing! 1 year, pending physical.

    The financial terms haven't been released yet, but those aside, I like this signing. Marcum has ability, something not seen that often in Flushing, and it's for only a year.

    Of course, given Marcum's physical woes, the physical may not be just a formality.

      Yeah, assuming it's not for a ton of money (which I can't imagine it will be), seems like a good "give it a shot" signing, a la Chris Young (which obviously didn't pan out since he got hurt....again). He'll probably get hurt again, but for a low price, it's worth a chance.

        Can't fault the logic here, but if I had an injury history like Marcum's, the Mets are the last place I'd want to go.

          Marcum and Mets medical staff in the same room does seem like a bad idea. He'll probably tear a labrum during the physical.

            That's not even counting the medical discount for the mental trauma the lack of offensive support will cause.

              1/$4mm + incentives. Great move, Sandy.
