The offer stands at two....Look I'm one of the more flexible fans, I'll even give Molina a third year that vests on obtainable goals, because that means for two years he contributed to the club. In 2011 Thole would be his back-up and 2012 he would back-up Thole, no better catcher to break in the youngster then Molina.
But there is no way I'm guaranteeing three years to a 35 y/o catcher with weight issues and bad knees. While I feel the Mets are fumbling the Bay negotiations, I think there doing the right thing with Molina.
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't start hearing rumors about Barajas, Olivio, Torrealba and maybe even trade rumors for Snyder or Navarro.
In what could be considered a shrewd move, the Mets have apparently told Bengie Molina that the only offer the Mets will present to the veteran catcher s a two-year deal. They’re also prepared to move forward if that offer is rejected.
“We’re not going three years, that’s it,” said a member of the Mets front office. “That’s what I have been told.” source Baseball Digest
