@LumenExTenebris@DanBartels2 You bring up completely useless information. Soto’s opt out? The Mets can play him 5M extra AAV and it voids the opt out completely. Lindor can decline at SS and still be an above average to elite player until his late 30s. There’s a second window of competing for both of them.
@LumenExTenebris@DanBartels2 Oh no 2 more years of elite short stop play until we have to endure three years of above average to elite second base play!
@RealMetsFanClub The Mets were in first place and trying to make the playoffs and they traded a high school outfielder they drafted the previous season coming off a shoulder injury. Why can’t we just credit the Cubs for developing a prospect that existed in our system for 8 months?
@NightProwler_zz@MetsJoe22 The Mets are 7th in baseball in bullpen ERA. Respectfully, you’re the moron if you think the bullpen or how it was handled was the issue this year.
@GoodFundies I’m still curious what the next two years look like. Bat speed is down 12% this year, still obviously productive so didn’t hurt him, but it’s usually the first indicator of regression.
@MetsJoe22 Why does the team being bad one year qualify as being terrible at your job? Sometimes you need to take a gap year to reach the ultimate goal.
@Masterflip_ I have read that Disney is involved with Guggenheim Partners in some capacity and ESPN is therefore going to be very stand-off when it comes to this story. Not that they didn’t anything illegal, just want to distance themselves from the story.
@Stewby_Stew@RisaE2026@MicrophoneMilo@MLB I’m not insisting that the Dodgers themselves be punished, but it does drastically impact their ownership group and whether Guggenheim Partners will be allowed to own the team any more. They already had to sell the Lakers.
@Stewby_Stew@RisaE2026@MicrophoneMilo@MLB The way they funded the purchase and their operations were undisclosed because they’ve fueled their liquid assets by borrowing from other entities they own. Over $14 billion they’ve hidden. I get the TV contract is the least of these issues but it tells a larger story.
@RisaE2026@MicrophoneMilo@MLB Essentially they operate as the borrower and lender of their financial operation while not disclosing this to their stakeholders or insurance holders of the companies they own (excess of $15B going undisclosed). Also none of this gets factored into MLB revenue sharing.
@RisaE2026@MicrophoneMilo@MLB The ownership group has funded the club by borrowing money through multiple life insurance companies all owned by their owners. They also have funded their massive TV contract, and their large sum of deferred contracts through this venture.
@JoseLop16219769@AndrewL33629445@MicrophoneMilo@MLB So nothing about the funding of the deferred contracts by taking loans out from his multiple life insurance companies? All of that money that doesn’t get factored into league revenue sharing?
