Mets and UConn Basketball
Ratings - saying they did - this whole thread. It may get worse too CNN (and many others) maybe an acquired by a big MAGA owned company.

Yes and now I see what you mean about NPV with deferrals the NPV is $228 million so essentially he just picked the LAD over the Mets - money was similar w leaked info about NYM offer -

Nihilism is the only way

Yeah the Mets suck and always will… right on brother
January 16, 2026 at 5:49 AM
NPV 57.1 million/ year

He’ll request a trade

My question is if we tear down - where do we ship Soto?
January 16, 2026 at 4:45 AM
There’s also a great possibility that maybe he just didn’t wanna come here . I mean LA seems like a pretty nice place to play baseball and get paid and probably win a World Series.

I’m not a “Uncle Stevie Fan” Scott I think he is reactionary and has a bunch of stupid things that he shouldn’t say but to say he’s worse than the Wilpons is bullshit. And be honest with yourself do you don’t think that the bidding war would be the same if it was just Toronto in LA?

I have to call you out on this . Please tell me I’m wrong - maybe you’re not - but you seem awfully upset when he (Tucker) obviously used the Mets for Leverage.

I wasn’t gonna say this, but you talked length about people crashing out about the Mets not resigning Alonso and Diaz is ridiculous - but it seems like you’re crashing out about the owner saying something stupid and so much to comparing him to the cheap Wilpons. I mean Jarret I’m a big fan but I

I didn’t pretend and I don’t have the structure - but saying this is totally on Cohen is just not fair
January 16, 2026 at 3:26 AM
I disappointed- I wouldn’t have liked them going to 240/4 - I mean wouldn’t that leave no budget for any pitching additions - the tweet was obnoxious but what are your thoughts on missing out on tuck? Feel free to tell me to subscribe. Understand it’s your business
January 16, 2026 at 3:23 AM
Any idea what the Mets offered 4/200 ?
January 16, 2026 at 3:20 AM
And to say that the tweet put him in the other direction and not the extra 10 million per year AAV is a bit much
January 16, 2026 at 3:19 AM
It’s a bad look - but to say this is worse than the Wilpons is a bit much
January 16, 2026 at 3:14 AM
Perhaps he didn’t want to go to ny

This is true - but also is it possible he’s just not going go after every!FA and let Stearns do his thing with out being swayed by fans? Could this be a good thing and more of a long term plan of sustainable winning? I mean I’ll miss Pete and Edwin but the fan base is acting as if the world ended.

Don’t do Lindor dirty by comparing him to ringo

in short I do not believe David Stearns does *or should* perceive this as a paradox. He does not care about your feelings and he would be abdicating his job responsibilities if he did
December 10, 2025 at 6:21 PM
Good fun has died - but maybe it was his time to go? We shall see
December 10, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Did he even give them a chance to match ? Puma said he liked the LAD offer I think he just wants to win a ring honestly and LAD are the favorites to win with their “super team”
