Willie Mays to stay with Giants not Mets
MLB reports say the New York Mets declined Giants' asking price for Willie Mays with infielder Ted Martinez or pitchers John Matlack or Jim McAndrew demanded in return. Mets chairman M. Donald Grant said money alone wouldn’t secure the deal and a meeting with Mays could occur after Stoneham arranges it. Mays, 41, stated he may finish his career in New York but faulted the handling of the bid. Tailback Tom Zipperly of Altamonte Springs, Fla., is expected to bolster South Carolina next season after seven touchdowns in five freshman games.
