The prevalent theory is usually to sell high on a stock when you can. Time will tell whether the dividend pays off.
"Thank you for making me feel wanted," R.A. Dickey tweeted just before the official trade announcement.
Count Monday as a Mets win, even though sometimes even winning involves a modicum of pain.
New York will send Dickey, catcher Josh Thole and catcher Mike Nickeas to Toronto for d'Arnaud, pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard, Major League catcher John Buck and 18-year-old outfield prospect Wuilmer Becerra.
I'm just so turned off by the greed, the unwillingness to cooperate, the lack of direction and the apathy toward the fans who live and die with every drop of the puck. It's disgraceful and it's unfair, and I'm finished.
The Mets and Blue Jays have agreed in principle on a deal involving Cy Young Award-winner R.A. Dickey, according to multiple reports.
R.A. Dickey and his knuckleball could soon be headed to Toronto.

'Tis the season to be -- angry?

R.A. Dickey had a message to deliver, and he delivered it loud and clear. Speaking at a Mets holiday party, Dickey was clearly frustrated by the slow pace of negotiations and the underwhelming offers that have been delivered to him.
"I feel like we're asking for less than what's fair," Dickey said Tuesday. "There is a surprise sometimes when things don't get done quickly and you already think you're extending the olive branch."
You can be sure David Wright's final act at Citi Field won't cause an eruption of boos, a la Jose Reyes, who left fans stunned after what was to be his final at-bat in a Mets jersey.

David Wright is here to stay, and he has great expectations for a Mets team that has struggled for respectability in recent years.
