"Sources familiar with the team’s thinking have maintained that the Mets are unwilling to offer six or seven years, and might be uncomfortable with five."
-Andy Martino
New York Daily News
This isn't the first time this weasel has made up a source in order to make his story seem hard-hitting and relevant. Back in July (the last time we made a post... I know, I know... we're busy, keep your pants on), Martino also quoted "Major League Sources familiar with the Mets' thinking," to make a point that the Mets were trying to trade Jason Isringhausen. We all know how that turned out, another swing-and-miss story from our favorite beat writer.
If/when the Mets do give Jose a 5/6+ year deal, do you think Candy Martino will quit quoting his imaginary friends?
