1) Trading for him in '15 was definitely a great move, because without him the Mets don't roar past the Gnats and there is no pennant at all. Resigning him after the season was something everybody wanted, but there was no huge red flag attached to him for injuries then… not that he is a bad player, he is still bringing in raucous OPS+ values, he's just never in the lineup; so yeah, in this case, hindsight's 20/20.

2) I am not a doctor, but I know that whenever the Mets or Coons gain lots quickly in the L column, I miraculously gain a pound or two.

3) Until this week, we knew that every single part of his body was aching, EXCEPT the heels. Which turns into …

4) This franchise is indeed a train wreck, run by the aforementioned band of brain-damaged baboons.

5) Did I mention the baboons already? This one stunned everybody, including the broadcast crew yesterday, who had no idea what was going on either, and they are usually very close with the Mets' PR department and front office… So I indeed buy into the GM level knowing zip until Cespedes himself revealed the heel issues.

So where does that bring us? There is roughly $75m left on that contract which runs through 2020. The current season is a disaster. The Mets aren't going anywhere, and neither is that contract going anywhere. Stop messing around, get him checked out by Mets personnel, and when they confirm the heel issue, get him fixed NOW instead of dragging him on and off the field on a stretcher for the next six weeks and doing surgery in September.

If you cut him open right now, you can maybe get him back between March and May next year and you can still get something, anything for the $58.5m he is allegedly due for the next two years.

But I sure know the Mets will **** this up like they **** up everything.

I hope they have insurance for him. It is assumed that they pay nothing of David Wright's contract because they have insurance.
