But that often comes with a cost. For example, Pedro Martinez in 2005. Martinez alleges in his book Pedro that Jeff Wilpon forced him to pitch injured in a meaningless September game to sell tickets for a match-up against the Florida Marlins Dontrelle Willis (Wilpon flatly denied this). After having to wait to get surgery, his recovery time was shortened and, after breaking down the next year, he was never the same Pedro. While that story may or may not be true, his quote to The New York Times also illustrates this culture: I was paid to pitch, so I went and did that, he said. I did it whenever you asked me, whenever I could. I wanted to do it for as long as I could, and that was my limit. Pedros contract? It was for four years, just like Cespedess. Would Alderson, manager Mickey Callaway, and the Wilpons prefer to have what would probably be a mirror of Jay Brucea clearly hurt player just grinding through it in left field instead of that player trying to get right? Apparently so. This displeasure with Cespedes has also extended to the media, who just simply cant believe that a player would have the audacity to not speak with them. And when the media is displeased, it often gets reflected in its coverage, leading to fans being upset with Cespedes not being back either, as if he is purposefully remaining injured. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/53vaqb/jeff-wilpon-is-a-piece-of-shit-according-to-lawsuit Just when it seemed like the New York Mets co-owners couldn't get any more detestable, the Wilpons have, according to an astounding legal document, managed to outdo themselves. Former Senior Vice President for Ticket Sales and Services Leigh Castergine is suing Jeffrey Wilpon and Sterling Mets Front Office, LLC for wrongful termination. The complaint alleges that Wilpon repeatedly chastised and humiliated Castergine for being an unmarried pregnant woman and ultimately fired her for having a baby out of wedlock. so yeah shouldnt be surprising he's got a toxic masculinity mindset when it comes to this stuff --- ~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion 2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS <cite>WiggumFan267 posted [p:923503451] in 2019 Baseb...
