“I don’t want him, he’s old,” is a common thing you’ll hear during the free agent period with baseball. We do it plenty when discussing the New York Mets. Their history over the last two decades or so has leaned toward adding older players past their prime.
The fact is, at some stage in your life, every free agent is old. So, unless the team is landing some prospects, you may start to feel the way I did when people began calling Mets catcher Wilson Ramos an old man.
In the baseball world, Ramos is indeed a young grandfather.
