New York Mets: Do nice guys in baseball really finish last?

According to a February 2012 study by the University of Notre Dame, nice guys, at least statistically speaking, are not as likely to earn the big bucks as their less agreeable peers. In other words, the more agreeable a man is, the less he will earn. How does this finding jive with what we know about the New York Mets and other baseball players in terms of their on-field performance? And what exactly is the definition of a nice guy?

In a June 15, 2016 Bleacher Report, the author, Steve Silverman writes that nice guys include those who know how blessed they are and have gratitude every step of the way.
