But I still think it's worth it because I think he improves the team and it gives you a better chance to win.

I don't see what happens.

And by the way, I'll throw this at you because I do not know.

And I don't know if this coincides because he may have to opt out prior to the lockout.

But who knows what a new CBA does to impact that decision.

Oh, right.

He may say to himself, you know what, I'm going to opt in a year or two.

Let me see what the CBA is, and then I'll decide on a year three.

So there's a lot of elements to it that are unpredictable.

I am just pointing out that if you're going to accuse the Mets of panic, don't do it based on money.

I would do it more based on, wow, you're willing to let them leave after a year while giving up the compensation.

That's my only point.

Forgive me if you said this, and I missed this.

John Heyman is saying the Mets see Brett Beatty playing multiple positions this season, including third base.

Yeah, I think they may trade him.

That's where I'm kind of leaning.

Well, that's what you say when you want to make someone feel valuable.

Yeah.

He can play everywhere.

He's trained at first, third, left field.
