Originally, I never considered Granderson ever becoming a Met (even though he does meet the Mets needs).
Tim Dierkes, the guru at MLBTradeRumors posted his annual Top 50 Free Agent list this past week with predictions where players will end up, and he feels the Mets will end up with Granderson. Tim has a wealth of knowledge, so he’s a voice on the internet I generally feel I can trust.
There are reports now though out of the Daily News that Granderson is considering accepting the qualifying offer from the Yankees (1 year, 14.1 million), which would throw a wrench in these hypothetical Mets plans. According to the article he cites Giradi’s new contract as a reason to come back. He also talks about possibly wanting to play for his home town of Chicago.
So really no Mets news. But it was non-Met official driven, so that’s not too surprising.
