Perez is 0-3 with a 6.25 ERA in the bigs this season and has refused a minor league assignment that might help him work on his craft and gain confidence. "At some point you have to cut bait," said one of the unidentified players. "You owe him a lot of money, but for what?" The Mets are no stranger to controversy and this saga isn't likely to end well either.

Not sure why they ever agreed to pay him a lot of money..... he was spotty at best through most of his time with the Pirates. I do remember him having a good stretch maybe in '06 or something, but seriously....

Very inconsistant, more off than on lately, and by off, I mean very off.
Dude pissed off everyone from the top down by thinking AAA won't help him.
He can't get MLB hitters out, ergo won't see action, if you don't see action, you can't straighten yourself out, so if you don't want to get right, then get out.
They got a knuckle baller that's baffling the league right now, why should Perez start over him.
On a side note, I don't have to listen to those very annoying Mets announcers say "Ollie" anymore.

News flash, Mickey Mantle was once demoted, get over it

Two words.
Scott Boras

I knew nothing about this aspect of baseball.... (I've always been a Pirates fan so it's difficult to get into MLB hahaha)

And strangely enough, it seems that this Scott Boras and others like him and a good part of the reason I can't get into baseball. Teams like the Pirates simply have no chance.
