The New York Mets clearly have a tendency to be stubborn when it comes to signing certain players. However, passing on bringing Kelly Johnson back for a third stint would be beyond stupid.
Pigheadedness and the Mets front office always seem to go hand in hand and many times it has come back to haunt the team. Do we have to mention Daniel Murphy again? What about when they were reluctant to sign Manny Ramirez after the 2000 season.
The Mets were the defending National League Champions and Ramirez, who grew up in New York, would have loved to play in Flushing.
