Anonymous Met rips into Wilpons

An anonymous player on the New York Mets submitted an article to New York magazine that rips into Fred and Jeff Wilpon, demanding that the embattled owners sell the team for the good of the players and fan base. The story was published Monday.

Here is an excerpt: "Ownership is trying to turn the Mets, a big-market franchise, into a small-market franchise. That’s not just sad, it’s disgusting.
You know what I think when I read about the Mets nowadays? We’ve become the Oakland A’s. We’re the Pittsburgh Pirates. Our fans deserve better than that. You can’t possibly build a dynasty when you’re cutting costs left and right. The only way to turn it around is to sell the team."

And that's not all:

"Either way you look at it, what you have now is a team that feels like it’s bankrupt. Jose Reyes was allowed to walk without even getting an offer? If that’s your plan, you better have someone to replace him with. But the Wilpons don’t.
Reyes and David Wright were the heart of that team. Those were the guys the Mets had to build around. But now that Reyes is in Miami, Wright will be traded by the All-Star break. If they’re going to run this like a small-market team, that’s the way it’s going to unfold. If I’m David Wright, I’d want to be gone."

Was this masked and anonymous Met, David Wright?  Was it Jason Bay? Johan Santana? According to Yahoo sports, this was a player who is currently on the Mets ball club, a veteran who is fed up with the failings of the Wilpons.

Whoever it is; thanks for the honesty. Read the rest of the editorial here!
