ZGiants98 : 7/21/2017 7:37 pm
LOL worthy.

Can it get any worse for the Mets? Cespedes says Melvin is by far the best manager he ever played for and that he hopes to play with and retire with the A's eventually.

Oh yeah... there's a game on.

Yoenis Cespedes tells The Chronicle he wants to finish career with A's; "I love Oakland all the time."

Cespedes has a full no-trade in his contract, but the Mets now have a good idea for which team he might waive that provision.

Amed Rosario is absent from the Las Vegas starting lineup for a fourth straight game. He bruised a finger earlier this week.

It's really weird how he'd want to play there
TOTALLY OVERBLOWN Β

He was just complimenting his former manager and loved starting his career in Oakland. I mean, he was a cuban free agent and picked the As, so he obviously had an affinity for that organization.I odn't think he meantit as a slight towards the Mets or Terry.
I'm not sure Β

Could be but when the news broke they made a huge deal about it on SNY. Basically said, he threw Terry under the bus and made a huge mistake.

I think in the very least it was poor taste.
Matz's mechanics are really out of wack... Β

Does every single starter have to go through a funk like this every year?

He doesnt have to say he wants to play there and retire there and he "loves Oakland all the time". I hate Terry but you seriously think it wasn't poor taste to say Melvin is the best manager he ever played for??

I also dont care where he gave the interview. He's in NY talking to them. Of course its going to get out everywhere.

Putting all that aside the spirit of this thread was supposed to be funny in a "Oh Mets" way. Im not out to drag him through the coals over it anymore. More just stupid/funny.
lmao. Matz looks like he wants to rip Terry's head off Β

I don't think it's a big deal at all Β 
CMicks3110 : 7/21/2017 9:02 pm : link
Of course it's in poor taste, but I also think Cespedes is not the type that really thinks too deeply about how his words impact people/fans/other players. I think he is pretty locked into what he is doing and answered some questions. W/E, I'm sure terry doesn't care that much either. So what if he liked Bob Melvin more, I'm sure Piazza liked Tommy LaSorda better than Bobby V, and I'm sure Derek Jeter liked Torre better than Girardi, doesn't mean they didn't like their managers generally.
I never said he was saying it maliciously Β 
ZGiants98 : 7/21/2017 9:20 pm : link
or was out to hurt Terry.

It was just really stupid.

He's having an awful year and now he's spouting off about how he wants to play for Oakland again?

It's really not cool.
Well this game is fun... Β

Yoenis Cespedes said through an interpreter that his comments to the Chronicle were taken out of context.

Guy wants to end his career in Oakland. What does that have to do with him playing in NY now? Piazza played out west at the end of his career too.
