That first one is excellent though. At least read it up until the bullet points which cover other trades around MLB.

An excerpt:

The New York Mets, a public-relations disaster that in its spare time masquerades as a baseball team, spent the days following the All-Star break finding new depths of dysfunction, which is saying something considering the teams ownership profited from the largest Ponzi scheme in human history.

And its important to start there, with owner Fred Wilpon and his son and team COO, Jeff, because rottenness of this sort does not grow randomly, a bizarre series of one-offs that happens to befall the same organization ad infinitum. It emanates from the same wound, one that festers and habitually infects, one rooted in an insecurity that explains so many of the Mets foibles.

Multiple people familiar with the Mets inner workings describe an organizational culture that is almost too childish to believe one in which Jeff Wilpon sees a winning day only as one in which the Mets are victorious and the New York Yankees lose. This is not just little-brother syndrome; its mania in which a franchises fealty to public perception drives so many of its decisions, a sad bit of irony considering Mets fans so deeply loathe the teams ownership.

This manifests itself in more than personnel moves. The Mets might as well communicate internally by tin can. Its not that the left hand doesnt know what the right is doing; its as though theyre on entirely different bodies. The day after outfielder Yoenis Cespedes told reporters he might need surgery on both of his heels that would keep him out more than half a year, Mets manager Mickey Callaway said he was not quite exactly sure what Cespedes said and, when informed, said: Thats concerning.
