Brother Can You Spare A Dime?

The season hasn't already started and the Mets have had to borrow 25-million from Major League Baseball to help make ends meet.
Since Fred Wilpon and his son want to keep the team, the only way they may be able to do so is to start trimming payroll and shipping off high priced talent.
Johan Santana makes 20-mil this year. Coming off shoulder surgery. Who wants him? Carlons Beltran has been injury prone and will make 19-mil this year and will be a free agent after the season. No one is taking that contract. Oliver Perez, a complete joke and waste product is making 12-million this year. The only idiots who would take that contract on already have, the Mets!
Jose Reyes and Jason Bay might would have some interest from other teams. But the guy most marketable for the Mets is David Wright, the face of the franchise. He'll make 14-million this year and 31-mil over the following two seasons. Would they trade Wright to help trim their 136-million dollar payroll? They might have to.
This is getting good. Although in the long run, if it forces the Mets to sell the team that would be a good thing for Mets fans.
