It appears that the Mets newly acquired catcher, Chris Coste is not exactly pleased to be with his new team.
Per Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post, the ex-Phillies catcher/first baseman signed with the Mets just three days after belittling his new team in an interview with a Philadelphia sports website.
After telling CSNPhilly.com that he "will always be a Phillie," Coste said he had been hesitant to sign with the Mets, "It was the Mets," Coste said. "It's the last team I ever saw myself playing for. I knew I was going to accept (the contract), but had to think about it for a few days."
This guy is 37 years old and hit .224 last year with 2 home runs (both of them) and 18 rbis.* And he had to think about a contract offer from a major league team?
Hey Coste, I know catching Oliver Perez is no picnic but so what? Further, Gary Sheffield is no longer on the roster so what is the problem?
Life is rough I know but.....
Mets fans, got any rotten tomatoes?
*I know that he is a defensive catcher but so what?
