Mets Signed Trot Nixon
The Mets played great tonight. I’m sure Randolph was extremely nervous that his tenure depends on Ollie. Surprisingly, Perez pitched a great game. The offense put up 7 runs, and beat the Rangers 7-1.
During the Post Game on SNY, Willie fielded a whole bunch of questions about all of the circling rumors about his status. I felt so bad for him because you can see that he was trying to joke around, but he seemed uncomfortable.
After Willie spoke, Omar announced that the Mets signed OF Trot Nixon from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash and a player to be named later. Are you curious? I know I am. Omar stated that Nixon has been playing in Triple-A, and I had no idea about that. As usual, Minaya also said that he wanted to add a player with a ‘veteran presense’ and ‘Playoff experience’ to the team. What’s new about that concept?
Before Omar explained that Nixon was in the Minors, I was excited. I never knew that. Trot Nixon of the Red Sox was a blue collar player which is something most of these players on the Mets lack. However, he has to be in the Minors for a reason. Hopefully he can resurrect himself.
You can check out Nixon’s profile on MLB.com. He has a .275 career AVG, .364 OBS, and he’s closing in on 1,000 hits. Don’t forget about the World Series Ring.
