I would much rather hear these guys say, "they gave me the most money" and not a bunch of BS. A-Rod did the same thing in taking the most money and look what happened. I'm surprised that the Mets offered a 7 year deal for that much money. You would think by now teams would have learned. If for some reason Beltran does not work out with the Mets, who will take him? Oh, that's right Georgie and the Yanks.
