If anyone thought Oliver Perez would accept arbitration, they were crazy.
Perez turned down the Mets arbitration offer last night, and will hit the market seeking a multi-year, lucrative deal.
If Perez signs elsewhere, the Mets will be awarded a first-round draft pick, and another pick between the first and second rounds.
I'd like to have him back, but I know he will cost the Mets a lot of money. With the inconsistency they've seen first-hand over the last few years, do the Mets even want him back? Not for the money he wants, in my opinion.
Sorry for this getting lost in the shuffle, but no one expected him to accept, so I had resigned myself to the fact for a while.
