The reason the Mets are mocked is because they made the deal with Bonilla expecting to profit from it because they had a lot of money invested with Bernie Madoff at the time. If that had worked out as they were hoping, they would have made a lot of money while still paying Bonilla almost 5 times what he was owed. Instead they lost money when Madoff's scheme was exposed, but Bonilla still gets a lot more than he was owed.
