Carlos Delgado decides to stay with the Mets.

But because the Mets acquired Delgado during a multi-year contract, the lefty-hitting slugger had that very right. Yesterday, Mets GM Omar Minaya quashed any fears Delgado would be wearing another uniform in '07.

"I'm very pleased to say, we did talk to Carlos' agent, David Sloane, and Carlos has notified us that he is very happy to be here. He enjoys being with the New York Mets and everything about this organization. He will not exercise the right to demand a trade," Minaya said on a conference call. "He wants to be a Met for the rest of his career. Hopefully he'll not only win a World Series here, but he can get to 500 home runs. I think there's a very good chance that he has a chance to be Hall of Famer. My wish is that he will be with us for the rest of his career."

I don't think Mets fans were too worried about this.
