@BNightengale he owed them 20 million for jumping up and down in a meaningless exhibition costing the Mets a year, once you opt out you are owed nothing

@BNightengale HE opted out of the Mets, Mets don’t owe him anything

@BNightengale Why would a team call a free agent to get their take on them signing… another free agent?

@BNightengale Everything he's done? Quite the narrative. He caused the Mets to miss the playoffs in 2019 when he was horrific. And played in the WBC after signing a mega deal when the Mets didn't want him to play. Then got hurt jumping? He gave them 1 great season out of 3 on deal for ~$65m+ ?

@BNightengale Diaz was owed ZERO ... Mets gve him a record deal and he got hurt playing for another team and got paid $20 million to do nothing for a year... Then he opts out of the contract he didn't even fulfill... HE OWES the METS...

@BNightengale Shouldn’t have opted out then

@BNightengale They didn't owe him shit. Time to move on Jesus christ

@BNightengale Shut up boob he was a free agent

@BNightengale More Mets gossiping. Again.

@BNightengale So if they signed Weaver before Williams would the Mets have to call Diaz to let him know they were bringing in another reliever. Diaz was always the Mets closer you don’t need to clear the setup man with the closer

@BNightengale Wrong again Bob.

@BNightengale This is as dumb as dumb gets. He OPTED OUT of his contract. If he doesn’t understand what that means, he’s as dumb as Bob is.

@BNightengale He not owe the Mets anything, Bob? Made a folk hero amongst this fanbase with unwavering support and was mind you, horrid in 2019, mediocre in 21, and missed 23. Miss that in your notes ?

@BNightengale Owe a phone call to a FA ?? I cant even fathom 🤦♂️

@BNightengale Well, the Braves didn't call Freddie Freeman before trading for Olson, the Dodgers jumped on him to fill a need. The Mets didn't call Dias, the Dodgers reacted, filling a need. That is good business and smart, it is not "ruining baseball." The Dodgers are smarter than most.

@BNightengale Bullish*t. Did he Thank the Mets and @StevenACohen2 for paying him to sit out the entire ‘23 season and then take half of ‘24 to get in gear ? Good riddance to him

@BNightengale If he was still part of the team then yes I would of given him a heads up of what was going on, but he was a free agent looking to go elsewhere after giving him the top closer contract at the time. If he’s insulted he wasn’t told I could not care less.

@BNightengale Is Bob autistic?

@BNightengale Edwin Diaz was a free agent why would the Mets consult with a player who wasn’t a member of their team?

@BNightengale Please provide an example where a team gave a free agent who choose to opt out of a contract, details on their off season plans. @BNightengale

@BNightengale This is such a dumb take, he wasn’t there to replace him. He’s a FA the Mets don’t owe anyone an answer

@BNightengale for “everything he has done” he was paid about $85M..that’s how contracts work

@BNightengale What did Diaz owe the Mets for paying his full salary and his rehab after he got hurt playing in a non-MLB tournament?

@BNightengale Was a free agent who opted out

@BNightengale all Fould Territory is "is how we going to hate the Mets today" get over it already the channel is shit who tf wants to listen to a binafide bun like Kratz and Frazier all day? lmfao pathetic ass show

@BNightengale That’s garbage. An excuse by Diaz. Mets were very good to him. Not his fault, but he even lost a year for them due to injury while not even playing for them. He was a free agent, and Mets didn’t need to check in with him about who they’re signing. Lost a ton of respect for Diaz

@BNightengale ya so he can tip off the dodgers that the mets were chasing devin just for them to take devin away and diaz would walk right to LA. stupid

@BNightengale Everything he’s done for them? How about everything they have done for him?

@BNightengale What’s he doing with his eyes?

@BNightengale @BNightengale is an idiot

@BNightengale The Mets owed Diaz nothing he was a FA and wasn’t going back to the Mets

@BNightengale That wasn't even a real issue lol he still gave the Mets a chance to up the money they were differing to much

@BNightengale BULLSHIT EXCUSES BY DIAZ 👎👎👎

@BNightengale 🤡
