Wouldn't it have been better to not tell everyone you were signing a player you didn't have under contract?
How did this work out in favor of the Mets? If you're going to boil things down to they didn't sign a player with an injury concern, all of that was avoided by 28 other teams without doing anything or making a single announcement.
