I am a fair weather Mets fan. But seeing this on X I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. Clearly management doesn’t mind spending but what are they getting in return? A 500 baseball club? The ROI is a bit lacking

The Jays are interesting because they are owned by Rogers who are a massive telecommunications and media company that use the Jays as content for their media brands and as a way to advertise the rest of their business lines. So they might be perfectly happy to not make money on the Jays because they drive revenue for other business lines.

It’s a testament that always brings joy when you sign high profile players in the off season but then when you look over the last decade and beyond, you realize that that money didn’t get us anything but disappointment. Just look at the Yankees, Redsox and Dodgers all these years. Now, teams like mine (padres) yours (Mets) and many other have fallen into the trap. SMH
