In my humble opinion Greenlight tried to change the terms of the deal so that Einhorn would become majority owner in short time if certain covenants were not met. Kinda like a "trick." It almost worked.

Gee, it's been great but you have 7-10 days to pack

Matt Harvey and deGrom are Tommy John survivors so maybe you want to keep all these pitchers. -

Yes, pack for St. Lucie. -
MLB FA signings (non NYM variety) 2014-15
ashie62 replied to Frayed Knot's topic in New York Mets Talk
Didn't realize he has missed two full seasons and tore his achillies to boot. All signs point to retirement. -
I believe WWOR changed ownership and is billed as "My 9" Georgia Peach Communications out of Atlanta GA.

Still believe Gee will be a Met. -
The FA Marketplace, According to Cots' Baseball Contracts Mike Aviles * Asdrubal Cabrera Stephen Drew Alex Gonzalez J.J. Hardy (signed) Jed Lowrie John McDonald Hiroyuki Nakajima * Hanley Ramirez Jimmy Rollins * * � player whose current contract includes 2015 option. Ya know, that's a list that makes me want to play Wilmer Flores at shortstop for a year. Ditto..twice.

Then there is current minority owner Stephen A Cohen formerly of SAC Advisors. He has been banned from Wall Street for life but owns a 20 million dollar chunk of the Mets.

This Sterling Equities page from Bloomberg provides info on all of Freds doings. You could pull out the price of a Sterling bond that is currently trading and get a realtime look at the financial picture. Now I just need to find one. http://www.sterlingequities.com/companies/equities_management/index.php

Fred Wilpon was speaking during spring training last season and one of the things he said was, to paraphrase was, "the financial doings of the Mets are not going to make him any richer or poorer." I take that to mean the business that is the Mets pales in someway to his other holdings and enterprises. I understand what he means but every venture that turns south has a point where the owner yells "Uncle" and moves on. I am going to believe he is farther away from that number than a few years ago. Maybe he will surprise and pony up on payroll and show the brand is again increasing in value. I hope.

How many of these guys go north? My money is on Buddy Carlyle and Matt Reynolds.

Keep the batters in the box. No more strolls between every pitch.

My Krugerands and bitcoins are available.

This whole The Mets are too cheap or broke to compete for players mantra is getting really old for me. I mean really really old. Desmond is a highly paid slightly above mediocre SS. Pass. The 2015 Mets will contend so Sandy must have been doing something right. Plenty of time to act further, patience...

Maher looks like Jason Bay.

Bill Maher, for one, can be thanked.

I believe the Mets are committed to Wilmer Flores getting first crack at SS. Don't assume Dillon Gee is being shopped for a starting SS. I would guess a very good late innings bullpen guy ala Tyler Cippard may be the target.

Flores wil do a lot better than this new template. How do you change you password in the user area. Thank you.

The price isn't going up. The only way the Rockies get anything for Tulo other than a hole in their pocket is to give us a pile of money to take him. We presumably have the prospects they need: How many others do? That's something worth finding out. Bingo. IMO. I liked that article in one of the NY rags today about the Pads eating 29% of his contract, and how if the Rockies did the same we'd be paying Tulo around 15mill a season (82total), which is a great deal. I don't imagine they do that for Montero or down, so it could mean Noah or Wheeler. I'm very leery about that, cuz if we go into 'win now' mode, and Tulo gets hurt and we don't win, it'll be a devastating downer. A devastating downer as opposed to what? The last six seasons.

Adds to his rep as an all around good dude.

How much cash?
