The deferral was not a bad decision, but one could question signing him for all that money in the first place, no?

Hey as long as Mets fans are happy about the financials of the deal rather then the performance of the player that's what matters.

Loveable Losers I guess.

Problem for both New York teams, that gap where they would outspend other teams by 3-4-5-6 times is now gone.

You got Boston, LA, Anaheim, etc., now willing to do the same.

You should get some help. You have serious mental or anger issues with NYC. Your posts come off as unhinged.

Sorry, what was that? I was just watching the Jets lose, and about to watch the Giants lose.

Then tomorrow I'm gonna watch the 2 teams that left New York (very wise moves) play to most likely decide this years World Series winner.

Thus making it their 5th Title in the last 20 years for 2 teams who left NY to 1 Title for the 2 teams who stayed in NY.

5 is still better then 1 right? I don't know, I'm a little unhinged, and not great at math.

Honestly, its not my money so I don't care, you brought the subject up. Do you realize many team sign players to deferred contracts or do you only shit on NY teams?

I only shit on NY teams.

I believe the Mets have the highest Beer and Concession prices as well, so you might want to care.

Unless you're going to Mets games, why would you even care what they charge?

Bonilla's first 3 years with the Met were productive, 130 OPS+

The problem was bringing him back a 2nd time just to dump Mel Rojas.
