Have you ever googled the owner of the Mets net worth?

 

$15 Billion?

[Larry Cook]

$15 Billion?

 

Only $11 billion by my count, but still, that is a ton of cheese.

Apparently, the new CBT tier at 60M above the lux tax is considered the Cohen Cap. Of the 3 players who voted no, two were Mets players (Lindor and Scherzererer).

Nelson Cruz loves hitting at Fenway Park

There is one team that Cruz has always had an admiration for and that’s the Boston Red Sox. In addition he’s always enjoyed hitting at Fenway Park.

 

“My favorite stadium is Fenway Park. It’s a good place to hit, the fans really appreciate the game and they know how to appreciate a good player,” Cruz said in an interview in the Dominican Republic.

 

Despite his admiration for Boston, the Red Sox are not in need of Cruz’s power bat with slugger J.D. Martinez under contract.

 

“I’ve never received an offer from the Red Sox but it makes sense, they had David and now they have JD,” added Cruz.

 

The 41-year-old has a career .293 batting average with 122 hits, 26 home runs, 75 RBIs in 109 games versus the Red Sox.

 

Make JD the fulltime LFer.

No, still a boatload of boatloads of riches.

I was hoping for some transactions this AM? What gives?

Probably a ton of phone calls being made though.

True. JD may never play the outfield again for anyone.

They are afraid of being accused of secret deal-making over the freeze period.

I was thinking of that too.

That’s ok. Neither will I.

 

With 15 new positions opening, I could see JD getting moved. I put the Mets as the most likely interested party, since Cohen has let his team spend like mad…

Doubtful. We’re all making those accusations with no proof anyway…

[Bellhorn04]

Doubtful. We’re all making those accusations with no proof anyway…

 

But if you sign a guy 5 minutes after the deal is announced you make it look a little obvious...

[moonslav59]

Will MLB ask for phone records to see who talked to who and when?

[moonslav59]

If a deal was made during the freeze, there is no rush to announce it quickly and risk exposure.

And Bloom was asleep at the wheel again.

 

And just out of curiousity, who is Drew VerHagen?

Kershaw resigns with Dodgers for $17M/1 with incentives.

That's an absurd amount.

 

Can anyone look at any of the biggest signings, this winter and say, I wish we had paid that much or more for that major signing?

 

Is Bloom being cheap or just smart?

My money is on smart!

Me, too.

 

Now, of all the biggest signings, so far, which is the one that comes closest to the one you'd take, if you had to?

I actually like the trade right bring back Bradley and get us binelas. Binelas could be huge for us.

And the indomitable Martin Perez is going to the Rangers. No not the hockey team from NYC .
