He's stated he's wanted an extension and waiting until now to give it to him seems like a foolish idea, he only got more expensive now.

The Wilpon's are a joke, but considering the injury history of Mets starters I don't blame them for not giving an extension to a pitcher 2.5+ years before they had to. Considering the long path to the majors he'll also be 32 when he first hits FA/is extension eligible... If he keeps pitching like this it won't matter much, but if he gets hurt or takes a real step back to 3.00+ ERA it will.
