Mets Stingy With Cash as They Eye Future

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Just down the street from the Mets' spring training facility, QVC operates a call center.

There is no truth to the rumor that the Mets did all their offseason shopping there.

An analysis of data from the MLB Trade Rumors website shows that the Mets spent $6.6 million on major league contracts to free agents, 26th-most of the 30 teams. That's less than small-market teams Pittsburgh, San Diego, Oakland and Florida gave just one free agent this winter.

This has led to some grumbling in New York, where nothing comes cheap.

But the Mets did the right thing ...

If.

There's a big if. More on that in a bit.
