Here's some more evidence the Wilpons are the scum of the earth: http://deadspin.com/former-mets-exec-sues-team-says-she-was-fired-for-bein-1633155330
Harassing and ultimately firing a woman for being pregnant. Keep making me proud, Metsies!

That's good. Hopefully it is kept that way for the future. The Yankees need to trot out the best product on the field. They held onto guys like Bernie, Jeter, etc for too long, at least in starting roles on the roster.
I'd expect a 40 yr old shortstop to be a pinch hitter and backup player.

I'd hope that this would be the thing to get them run out of baseball, but we know that won't happen.

it shouldn't be too difficult for the Yankees to find a starting SS this off season better than what they trot out there now.. no disrespect intended to Jeter.. and Drew is awful.

JJ Hardy is best of the bunch. I think Hanley gets a crazy offer from the Dodgers. Wouldn't mind Hardy. Putrid early but he's picked him game up in the 2nd half. One of the best fielding shortstops in the game.

I'd like to see them do something unconventional for them, and trade for a young SS.
Hardy is actually interesting though, down year for him this year, but he's still putting up solid numbers from a position that doesnt have many of them.

if I'm the Yankees this off season, I'm taking a chance on guys like Yasmani Tomas (23 year old Outfielder with power) and Kang (27 year old SS with power). forget signing these over the hill veterans, its time to start taking some risks like we did in the past when we signed international talent like Mo and Bernie, etc. We've also had some good luck with Japanese players other than igawa such as Matsui and obviously Tanaka. The market is quite crappy for those 2 positions we need, I'd take the risk.

I'm a Yankee fan, so I have no loyalty to the Mets. With that said, this just wreaks of someone looking for a pay day. I find it interesting that she's worked for so many franchises, and already had a lawyer ready to go before she was ever fired (I'm going off the Newsday article I read earlier). Her being humiliated just sounds bogus to me - it seems more likely that she wasn't great at her job - ticket sales did plummet, and maybe they didn't think she was doing anything to help correct it (Yes, I realize that the on-field product wasn't anything special).
Nothing unusual about her career path--she joined the Philadelphia teams right out of college and worked her way up to a senior executive position with the Mets, using other mid-level jobs in Boston and Orlando to get there. It actually sounds pretty standard. Her suit argues that she had received large bonuses prior to becoming pregnant, and it wasn't until after that she began having "performance" issues. As for the lawyer, well, had my employer developed a habit of abusive behavior towards me, I'd probably have a lawyer at the ready when the inevitable happened, too.
I'm inclined to believe the lady though, as I've seen and heard some things over the years that lead me to believe the Wilpons are generally ****** people. Anyway, probably shouldn't go further into this as nothing has been proven and it's pretty OT. We'll almost assuredly never hear how this ends up beyond "settled outside of court."
