@GoodFundies I guess Peralta if they can’t get an extension done…but Bichette, Semien, Polanco contracts all look pretty “you break it, you buy it” unless the Mets send a ton of $$$ to sweeten the return.
@GoodFundies I mean this in all seriousness - at what point do the Mets become sellers at the deadline? Is there even anyone with trade value other than a couple relievers?
@TheSpeculator0 Yes, through an FA, which I suspect he employs to avoid potential conflicts of interest as a financial journalist.
I cannot imagine a worse job than being Matt Levine's financial advisor. (@matt_levine I mean this as a compliment)
@Brady_H LA Marathon sucks. Complete embarrassment and has been for years.
For a city with such a rich athletic history, it punches so far below its weight…
@ScoKoH@GoodFundies@tadpoles0220 For sure, the order of events made the move make sense at the time...but now we've got 4 guys that can credibly play 2B / 3B (polanco, baty, semien, bichette)
@kieranwgoodwin@LeylaKuni There are some structural differences that help mitigate the risk of an SVB-style run. Surrender charges, more diversified client base, etc.
Not foolproof, but not directly comparable either
@packyM You just wrote a 16k word hagiography of some very online people that aren’t afraid to wade into politics when it suits them. They have been notably silent the last 36 hours. Do you expect them to remain so?
