Think the Mets aren't spending enough? Their newest acquisition, left-handed reliever Justin Wilson, says it could be much, much worse.
Wilson, on a conference call Monday to welcome him to the Mets on a two-year, $10-million deal, agreed with comments over the weekend by Justin Verlander about the slow free-agent market being caused by the high number of MLB teams that aren't trying to contend and aren't spending at all.
"The biggest detriment to our game right now is the non-competitiveness of two-thirds of the league," said Astros right-hander Verlander. "I think that's why you're seeing free agents not get signed."
