Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Mets - Signed Glavine
New York Mets - Re-signed P Tom Glavine to a 1-year contract.
This comes in at $10.5 million, which is very reasonable for a single-year deal. Glavine’s not a Cy Young candidate anymore, but he’s a good bet to be healthy and eat innings (and pitch well enough that you actually want him eat innings). Someone like Schmidt would still be huge for the Mets, but keeping Glavine makes not getting one of the top pitchers on the market from being an unmitigated disaster. The player option for 2008 becomes available at 160 innings, being $9 million if he just pitches 160 innings and going up to $13 million depending on how many additional innings he pitches.

1. Why Bloody Valdespin? Posted: December 03, 2006 at 03:42 AM (#2250358)This rotation is far from a sure thing, but I am liking the way it looks right now.
Tony Fossas, here we come.
It does include getting his teeth knocked in during a taxi ride from Shea.
Why exactly? That's a pretty ridiculous statement to me.
Ever see him pitch?
He's got nothing, absolutely nothing. If he lost even more off his stuff (which may violate the laws of physics) batters should be able to tee off of him like a beer league softball leaguer
I'll take it this one.
They had a $14M option; actually, it was mutual options. Glavine had a player option first, which he declined. Then the Mets declined theirs. This had all been agreed in advance when the options were created during the middle of the 2006 season. At that time, Glavine agreed to defer some salary to save the Mets some dollars, which they felt they needed to free up to acquire somebody (can't remember who just now). In exchange, the Mets promised they would NOT exercise the option, so that Glavine would be free to decide in the off-season whether he wanted to return to Atlanta to be closer to his family as he finishes his career.
The Mets kept their word. It was also generally understood that, if Glavine decided to return to the Mets, they would compromise on a figure somewhere in between the option figures -- which is exactly what happened. Glavine, and his agent, repeatedly said in the last few days that the way the Mets handled it made a big difference in his thinking.
Right along with the Matsuzaka gambit (as in "Why don't the Red Sox outbid everyone on the posting and then fail to sign him, thus preventing the Yankees from getting him?").
Pinpoint accuracy, combined for many years with a strike zone generous on the outside corner.
Explain.
That's Maddux - Glavine walks a boatload of people.
I have to explain sellouts, merchandising and TV ratings?
Avg home attendance: 43,327
Shea stadium capacity: 55,601
12,000 X $50 = $600,000
And that's if Glavine only sells out one game. I know the win could come on the road but every start he has after 299 will have good attendance.
True, but he's still got good control. He just chooses to throw balls until he finds someone who will bite.
