Wilpons to blame for Ollie P mess?

Just found this via MetsBlog:

According to Gammons, Scott Boras approached the Mets a few weeks ago and asked them to put Oliver Perez on the disabled list, send him to Florida and have him work with renowned sports psychologist Harvey Dorfman.

However, Jeff Wilpon declined, says Gammons, ‘because he didn’t think that was appropriate, or necessary.’

WHAT? Are you kidding me? We had an out to get rid of this guy and free up the roster spot and the Wilpons declined? They probably declined because the shrink wasn’t on their HMO approved list. Unbelievable.

Of course it could just be spin by the agent, stay tuned in for more on this soap opera.

    If thi story is true, this really makes you scratch your head and again shows how cheap the Wilpon’s are. If it cost 1 mill to ship him off and get his head looked at it would be worth it. All in all I think he is finished and the Mets are just scared someone else will turn him around. What does that say about the confidence they have in their own staff….I’d like to see them work a deal like they talked about in SNY in milwaukee, even though I hate him I wouldn’t mind a deal Perez for Suppan, maybe a switch of scenery would help Suppan and he would be a forimable 5th starter and we know he can pitch in NY in October
