It's a great day for New York Post headline writers, as the Mets tonight acquired pitcher J.J. Putz from the Mariners in a three-team, ten-player trade. After the signing of K-Rod yesterday the Mets now have two closers, which is two more than they had for the majority of 2007.
Putz to New York was sort of inevitable, wasn't it? Now, if Peter Schmuck were to jump to a New York paper...
Meanwhile, I don't begrudge the Yankees signing C.C. Sabathia- but A.J. Burnett? If that happens, the Yankee-hater in me will rejoice.
