Apparently Zobrist's deal with the Cubs was agreed upon on Monday night but both sides were able to actually keep their mouths shut while the physicals were going on.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, John Ricco very publicly said that Zobrist being a Met was good as done. Collins held a press conference in which he said he envisioned Zobrist batting second. Jeff Wilpon flew to the winter meetings to make the official signing announcement. Yet the whole time, the Cubs knew they had already landed him.
What a fucking disaster for the Mets. They are the only team in baseball that this shit happens to. It's like the Gomez non-trade all over again.
