HE'LL LOVE THE NYC MEDIA
Scott Miller of CBS SportsLine is reporting that Mike Cameron has signed what is "believed to be" a 3-yr, $21M deal with the New York Mets.
This of course raises the following question --
If YOU were GM of the Mariners, would YOU have outbid the Mets and shelled out an average of more than $7M/yr to keep Mike Cameron?
I love his defense, but for that price, my answer is an easy and outright " no."
And yeah, imagine the head games that Cam will be playing with himself in NY when he has a 1-for-28 stretch with 10 K's and the media just jumps all over him. As fans, we got to see him smile, wear the off-centered cap, hit the bomb off Jeff Fassero in the 19th inning a few years ago, etc etc.
Happy trails, Mike Cameron.
