@Stevenacohen2 with all due respect, is there a breakeven point where you and David have discussed no matter what the original plan was, going into this season, the Mets organization just cannot tolerate this level of performance and results?
@StevenACohen2 give me a reason to come to this homestand, please. And don’t say the food. No point if I’m gonna throw it all up watching this product on the field
@stoolpresidente Why you rage-baiting uncle Stevie? Bad day at the track? Pissed at him because he doesn’t need to spend money on that bullshit to feel like a man? You’re a joker. I do respect your Pizza game though.
@Jeanie_80749@TheRedStripesSG Means to an end. How many 300 millions go into 23 billion? Again, I’m gonna side with the successful hedge fund guy in terms of managing finances and projections. It’s not a knock on you, just feels more sensible.
@TheRedStripesSG@wgraham425 Thank you. I respect the analytics of what $ a player is worth and if you wanna call it “irresponsible” for stepping over or way past the line, I’ll accept. But ultimately it seems as though the teams winning the World Series lately are doing just that, and so I’m good with it.
@wgraham425@TheRedStripesSG I get your two things can be true concept. As long as you admit that the second thing is in fact true.
Steve Cohen is trying to win the World Series for a team that hasn’t won in a while. If that is the goal, the amount of money he spends doesn’t matter.
@GoodFundies@sadmistermet Respectfully disagree. Right now the options are: 1. Baty plays versatile defender and we keep his “breakout” bat in the lineup 2. He gets traded in a package for major big name additions. I look at it as a win-win. Slight downgrade in defense but both scenarios make up for it.
@TheRedStripesSG Correction: the Phillies thought his market value was 28.5. B & B will take whatever a team is willing to pay. If you want to applaud the Phils for setting market value and then refusing to go above it to get the player, up to you. Thumbs are usually uncomfortable to sit on.
@TheRedStripesSG I agree, semantically, but the fact is that markets change and if you want to be competitive and add players, you have to roll with it, if you can. 2027 will fix a lot of these things, but for now, everyone is playing within the rules.
@TheRedStripesSG I get it man, but I think you’re just thinking about things a little outdated. The Dodgers have changed the game the last few years and have inflated AAV’s across the board. It is market timing, not irresponsible spending.
@TheRedStripesSG The guy just got approved for a casino. He’s got a big market baseball team with good ticket sales despite Rocky outcomes. He flies premium food in from all over to be number one food stadium in baseball, doesn’t just bring in From Geno’s. Stop talking about financial sense.
@TheRedStripesSG I don’t get the obsession with paying players. The market changes every year clearly this is a year where the players are benefiting with the AAV’s. These are big market teams; you don’t take a year off because the value isn’t perfect. Anyway, they were talking to Bo since Nov.
@SteinyTakes@MarinoMLB You don’t know that. If they’re not willing to go very far in years with free agents and all the other teams out there are, then they’re not gonna do that much plain and simple.
