I think assuming that Valentine would want to come back to the Mets, even without the ESPN contract thing, may have been a mistake. I mean, Craig, suppose if you quit working at a law firm, and while you were gone they got rid of most of your old co-workers/friends, and also descended into serious organizational dysfunction, AND that dysfunction was well known to anyone with even a passing knowledge of the industry. Then they asked you to come back… why would you do that? Because the name on the front of the building is the same as when you left? Everything else about it is worse, and you have other options… again, why would anyone want to do that?
