Another thing about the Wilpon's and their delusions: When it came out they were selling a piece of the team, it was 200mill for 25%. Now the last I heard is 200mill for 49%, because the potential partner will have to assume 49% of the debt, about 200mill. This would lead me to believe that the Family had the Mets leveraged to the max MLB allows. Imagine how highly leveraged the stadium and their points in SNY are, with out any MLB limits? Probably why those assets aren't included.

Truly a house of cards that a stiff fart will topple. They take the Madoff trustee to trial, they will probably be bankrupt by the legal fees, much less the clawback.

After what happened with Mo Vaughn, I don't blame them for being gun shy with Vlad. Arod...they should have made an offer, even if it could have been construed as insulting. Lure of NYC marketing potential may have gotten him to take less.

Also, when they start the fire sale, they would be well served to dump Bay and eat 6 of the 16mill/year he's owed. Some team would give quality prospects for that guy at 10mill/yr.
