Mets Offseason Moves Re-Cap

For the second year in a row, the New York Mets had the playoffs at the tips of their fingers, but they let it slip away, AGAIN. In both seasons the Mets were in a comfortable position with not many games remaining, but they failed to make the playoffs. After last season came to an end many Mets fans, including myself were calling for Omar Miniya's head. Omar failed to make the necessary moves in the bullpen and the outfield before the trade deadline to ensure the Mets would make the playoffs. With that said, this off-season has been a great one for Omar and the Mets. Minaya greatly improved the bullpen by signing Francisco Rodriguez (k-rod). He set the saves record last year for the Angels and trading for J.J. Putz, who two years ago was considered one of the best closers in all of baseball. Omar also resigned Oliver Perez and Carlos Delgado. One of the most important moves that Omar made this off-season was getting rid of the virus that Mets fans call Aaron Heilman. This was accomplished through the JJ Putz trade. All in all this has been a very successful off-season for the Mets and has allowed Omar Minaya to keep his job for at least one more season.
