The Mets Police: New York Mets Trade Ryan Church For Jeff Francouer

New York Mets Trade Ryan Church For Jeff Francouer

Went for pizza, came back and wow - Ryan Church (who Jerry clearly didn't like) is gone, and Jeff Francouer is in. Francoeur is 25, with .250 5 and 35. Jeff joins the team tomorrow.

UPDATE: see NY post for more:

"We were able to get a right-handed hitter and Golden Glove right fielder in a big ballpark like ours," GM Omar Minaya said. "Some consider him the best defensive right fielder in baseball."

Oh, great. Yet another player whom we hope experiences a rebirth in Queens.

This is not a bad trade on paper, but when a team ahead of you in your own division tells you, "You know, we'd feel better if he was playing on your side," that's not exactly encouraging.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
