European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 2, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 24 the stars and stripes sunday november 2,198b Champion mets looking for better cards i. Neft hit 10h Wilh i i Hnot by Joseph Durso new York not Ray Knight Lenny Dyl estra Wally Backman Tim thu Fol acc Mazzilli und absolutely Dar Ryl Strawberry will be Back. Moosic Wil son. Kevin Mitchell Howard Johnson Randy Niemann and Danny a cup prob ably will not. The 1986 mets were still hearing the cheers As they were cleaning out their lockers and hair memories. But upstairs in Shea stadium in inc office of the Gen eral manager Frank Cashen was Hying to Nic lure inc faces he est cos in the cast in 1987. We Don t have a dynasty Cashon said. I think we can win with this team so we re not going to rebuild a club hat won 116 games. But you can l stagnate. We have to make certain changes and we he did t list inc changes and he i a most Al .-.,--who has received a contract offer for one year at $650,000. Thai is Only j 5,000 More than Knight made this year and he wants More and May get it because he is the first piece in the Puzzle. But Cashen did say that the acts came Oul of the world series with these priorities they need to stabilize the infield. They now have two players Al second base and tour at third and they re not certain who will play shortstop. The main Man is Knight who made a stun Ning comeback this season at the age of 33. He is eligible to become a free agent hut is More Likely to return. But until he docs several other decisions must Wail they Wani d proven right handed except for Knight free agents Are not very Large in the mets thinking. Only two of this year s 24 players Are eligible to file for free Agency keep who Wei most Likely choose thai course and Knight who most Likely will nol. And Cashen repealed his opposition to filling holes on the team by signing free agents. I m not interested in signing free Job this year and hit .298 with 11 Home runs and knocked in 76 runs. In these Ries he hit .391 with one Home run and knocked in five runs. His Success made Howard Johnson excess. The mets would like Knight to slay be cause they Reed a Shepherd for Dave mag Adan the Rookie heir to the Job. Then in 1988, they could Advance Kevin Elster to hitter who will probably play left Field agents As i be said the last couple of shortstop in place of Rafael Santana. The Tough y cars Cashen said. We have a great Don t want to snarl two rookies on the Sam and reduce heir vulnerability to i left handed pitching. If they can get one then Wilson and Mitchell become Avail Able in trades even though Wilson is a switch hitter and Mitchell is right handed and both Are popular. They want to fortify their Middle Relief pitching. They have five prime starting pitchers Dwight Gooden Ron Darling Bob Ojida Sid Fernandez and Rick Aguilera. And they have two Quality Relief pitchers Roger Mcdowell and Jesse Orosco. But they sense a Gap be tween the men who Start games and the men who finish games. They expect to make a major Trade for what Cashen Calls a foundation play he has three in that category Gary drier Keith Hernandez and Darryl Strawberry. He can now solve two prob lems at once he can clean out the traffic jams at third base and in left Field by using the excess men in a Trade and thereby acquire another foundation years Deal of Talent in our farm system pushing to come up. The problem is making room for them on an orderly basis. This is going to be basically the same kind of team. We have three so called foundation players. You build around them. The other pans Are interchangeable. By next year you d Hope to get one or Ever two More foundation players. Do i mean major players you look for major players to the groundwork for any trades May be Laid this weekend when Cashen s chief deputies Al Harazin and Joe mall name attend the annual meeting of general managers in Scottsdale. Ariz. Any trades they initiate there can be completed one month later Al the Winter baseball meet Ings in Hollywood Fla. Third base will be High in their think ing. Knight making a dramatic comeback from Elbow surgery won the Side of the infield in the same year. So Knight has value beyond his Bat and Glove. However the mils first offer did t gel raves from Knight. He made $600,000 this year plus a Bonus of 45,000 based on plate appearances. They offered him $650,000 without incentives. He also wants a two year con tract but the mets offered Only one year plus an option year their option for $700,000, Knight wants either a Guaran teed second year or a guaranteed buyout Price for the second year. I have no desire to leave if i m wanted Knight said a Ines Day Frank s astute and fair. But he offered me basically the same Money As his year. I have very Strong feelings about Darcy and the Guys. So i d like to stay Here. But i want to play two More scoreboard local sports Usa eur Cross country main ,.niihinv so Nutof anal Rau ilk Al. I Vii i inv Cihi Rii f Curri ii Airship r t1rni.h 1,1".
