Dustin Parkes at Drunk Jays Fans details the continuing saga of Rod Barajas, once a Blue Jay, never a wizard of finance.

This was news to me, but apparently Barajas and his agents have cost the catcher millions over the years by consistently making questionable decisions while attempting to play the free-agent market.
Sound familiar?
So now rumors say Barajas could be heading to the Mets. Or not heading to the Mets.
Or maybe both parties are dancing around in a circle, pens drawn, trying to hammer out a free-agent contract that can somehow make them both come out the loser.

A lot of players still think that the market is what it was 3-4 years ago. Teams have gotten smarter. They’ve invested in the draft and have stopped overpaying for mediocre talent. That is except the Mets until this offseason of course.
Look, at this point I simply go to Barajas and offer him $1.5M and a major league contract. He’s better than Santos and the Mets want Thole in AAA for at least half the season, so stop this song and dance and get it done so Barajas can get into camp and start building a relationship with the pitchers.
While you’re at it, also offer Felipe Lopez $1.5M and get him signed. I can’t believe he’s still on the market. He is better than Cora and could eventually start over Castillo.
The Mets are offended at your implication they’ve stopped overpaying for mediocre talent.
