Being a Mets fan is getting downright embarassing...
Report: Mets likely to chop minors team
December, 20, 2011
By Adam Rubin
The Mets are likely to trim their number of minor league teams -- dropping their affiliation with Kingsport, Tenn. -- according to the Post.
The Mets are in cost-saving mode, trimming from every department. Among the recent casualties was the team's Pacific Rim scout and even a part-time worker at the team's Florida complex, sources told ESPNNewYork.com.

To be fair, the Mets had 9 teams and the Yankees (as well as many others) only had 8.

Re: Being a Mets fan is getting downright embarassing...
True, but I have to agree with vt's subject heading...it is getting embarassing these days. I just wish the Wilpons would be up front about the financial problems and not continue to try and put a happy face on it when we know damn well they can't afford to spend anything!

Well, when they dump David Wright for some single A players, then you'll know for sure.

it's coming...If Wright gets a new deal from the Mets, I'll be shocked...and if Santana shows that he's healthy, he'll be gone for "pennies on the dollar"...

If Santana is healthy at the ASB he'll net a bigger haul than did Carlos Beltran. Formidable pitchers are much harder to find than sore-kneed slugging outfielders.

Howard Megdal on LoHud Blog mentioned an allegedly hot Wright to Phils rumor centered around Dominic Brown.
