The main focus should still be to get a starter. Unfortunately Alderson said the price is steep right now at 1 year, $5 million for Chris Young and Jeff Francis.
$5 million steep for a NY team? Christ. I knew they weren't going to spend much this offseason, but goddamn. Madoff really must have fucked the Wilpons worse that they're willing to admit.

ESPN is reporting the team and the owners are currently being sued by another group responsible for refunding money stolen by Madoff. Supposedly one group from the Mets managed to make a profit off of the ponzi scheme.
