this is why the mets are a clown show of an organization...if cohen's issue was the wilpon's keeping control and now they are willing to sell the team without the condition that they keep control, then why can't they just iron out details with cohen to complete that sale?

So the same deal Cohen wanted in the first place? Manfred probably told the Wilpons enough's enough.

Anthony DiComo is tweeting out pics of the new clubhouse in Port St Lucie. I didn't pay much attention to this, but it caught my eye mixed in with the pics he said it's $57 million in upgrades, 2m from the Mets and 55m from the county.

I can't imagine why anyone with money WOULDN'T want to buy a team. It's a green light to rampant rich guy welfare.

It will probably be used for minor leagues/rehab, no?

May give them an edge with international free agents or something.

Oh I don't disagree with the need to update the place.

I'm just poking fun at the staggering breakdown of public funding. But it's 100% bc they threatened to leave if they didn't get what they wanted. These teams hold local govts hostage constantly.

"The Mets are only using it for Spring Training, not for the St. Lucie regular season, to give minor leaguers a reminder of the status they're working to earn"

Gotta love them Mets....

"Keep your head down and work hard. I remember grinding it out in HS, and those long bus rides in college. It all pays off with hard work" said Jeff Wilpon, without an ounce of irony, to a group of gathered minor leaguers.

LoDuca is savaging the Wilpons on FAN right now.
I'm generally in favor of savaging the Wilpons, but Lo Duca is an absolute idiot who takes every opportunity he has to shit on the Mets, their players, their front office people, etc. He's just a roided-out douchebag who's looking for attention.

But f*** the Wilpons, still. Although it's funny--them being incompetent may end up saving the Mets a scumbag owner.

This is the reason why Beltran had to go.

This story comes out days after pitchers and catchers report. Guess what the story would be at St. Lucie tomorrow if he was around?

Now, maybe BVW gets asked about it and if Beltran lied to them, but that's about it.

team is still a bunch of clowns for hiring him in the first place knowing that he was involved...but any reporter that covers anything but the clown show with the cohen deal should lose their job. nothing else matters

So I have a few buddies who work for the Yankees and I believe they were down in the Dominican Republic a few weeks ago.

All three of them said, to a man, that Jasson Dominquez is scary good. Like video game creation; sports movie phenom type good.

Obviously, baseball is an entirely different animal, and a lot can happen, but everyone I've talked to has come away wowed after seeing this kid. I have to admit, I am genuinely intrigued.

Lol at this story

all the current players were victims. forced into this by beltran. Including the baseball sheriff himself, Brian McCann. That fraud.

Have you seen him?

He's either got the greatest genetics of any human who has stepped foot on this planet or hes on every PED imaginable.

Never in person, only in video.

But I do look forward to seeing him soon. I've had the opportunity to catch several HOF-level players as teenagers and so I am curious to how he looks.

Even in video. His physique is ridiculous for anyone, let alone someone his age.

Now there is also a chance he is lying about that, but thats tougher to get away with these days.
