There goes my first theory. . .

It looks like the Mets out-bid the field for Wagner with a four year offer and an option for a fifth. With Wagner they add another over 30 small-framed pitcher. Wagner will certainly be an upgrade over Braden Looper at the back end of the bullpen. Last year Wagner blew 5 fewer saves than did Looper while saving 10 more. Let’s hope Minaya leaves enough in the war chest to go get some arms that can bridge the gap from the starters to Wagner.

Now let’s see how much the Mets dole out to either Molina or Hernandez.
