Despite Jenrry Mejia being perhaps the dumbest player in all of major league baseball, the Mets reportedly plan to bring him back for 2016, tendering him a contract before Wednesday’s deadline.
To recap, the Mets were counting on Mejia to be their closer in 2015, but he tested positive for PEDs and was suspended for 81 games. When he came back in July, the Mets were counting on him to be part of the crucial bridge to his pal Jeurys Familia, who seized the closer job in Mejia’s absence. Instead, he idiotically tested positive again and was suspended for 162 games.
