Word going around on Tuesday is that the Mets are interested in a reunion with Justin Turner. But it says here they should not bother — why compound one mistake with another?
The original mistake, of course, was letting Turner go in the first place. For the uninitiated, Turner was a solid bench piece in Flushing from 2011-2013 when Sandy Alderson inexplicably waived him rather than pay him a million dollars. The Mets predictably trashed him on the way out the door, implying he didn’t work hard enough or something like that. The Dodgers picked him up and he became a star.
