Teams don't really make money on minor league guys. Even if Tebow winds up boosting the hell out of the attendance in whatever minor league stop he makes (assuming he even gets that far) that windfall will mostly benefit the minor league owner at each level which, with the exception of Brooklyn and the Gulf Coast squad, isn't the Wilpons. At the moment I believe the outlay for Tebow is around 100K which maybe sounds like a lot for what is so far just a winter commitment, but at the same time it's less than what many teenage draft picks get and most of them won't see the big leagues without a ticket either. Finding and developing players is expensive and you miss a lot more than you hit. Tebow's path to get there is different for sure but at this point he's just another hopeful whose journey will end far short of CitiField. The money for jersey sales is split 30 ways among the teams with the exception that teams can own and run outlets in their designated 'home area' and keep the profits from them. So if you're wondering why NYM outlet stores sell other teams' stuff (including MFY gear) it's because they think they'll sell and that helps the bottom line. But the money made from a theoretical Tebow shirt sold in Modells or wherever (and I can't believe there'd even be Tebow shirts made yet) would go to MLB's general fund and not directly to Fred's pocket. Angst is what Met fans do. excellent, thank you....
