An absolute gut punch!! Why, God, why?!?!? 🤬🤯😭
How the fuck do the Mets not keep Edwin Diaz when all it took was 3 yrs & $69 million from the Dodgers to steal him?
Unacceptable from a GM who is allegedly smarter than thou and an owner who is worth $23 billion & climbing & just got a new casino deal in Queens.
Wilpon-esque.
Smalltown shit.

One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.
In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.
In short, it’s working.
So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
