Mets like Sheets.
Every time I think this offseason can't get any worse, it does. I know this shouldn't be the deciding factor, but I'd rather sign him to keep him away from the Mets than take the 2nd and a sandwich pick.
But at this point I wonder if the Brewers wouldn't have to offer more money than anyone else just to get his attention.

Ugh
It would be a travesty to let him go to the Mets without putting up a fight.
If he signs with the Mets, this has become the offseason where we lost CC and Sheets for 2 2nd round picks.
I believe that we will have to offer more than anyone else. But since it probably wouldn’t be more than a 2 year deal, I don’t think it’s a terribly high risk.
I wonder...
what about a player option for a second year? Ben gets the 2-year deal he (might) want, and if the market for pitching opens up next season, he can bolt.

On MLB network, talking hot stove with Trenni, he made it sound as if the Mets and Ben agreed on dollars and years but the Mets wanted to make the contract based on a lot of incentives and Ben didn’t.
Someone get me Casey Close’s phone number. Pitch one more year here and go into that thin FA SP market next year.
