Fourth highest and yet the cheapest owners in baseball, solid.

I've said it before, the Wilpons are not cheap. They may be complete jackasses that don't know how to run a team but they have handed out some insane contracts in the past. We just rid ourselves of the Jason Bay contract that was what $17 million per for 4 years? Johan had a monster contract. We got Beltran for a max contract when he was the hottest free agent in baseball. Idiots, yes. Cheap, nah.

Lately they have been on the cheaper side. I just want them to start spending and making this team better.

don't hold your breath.....they are after all the friggin wilponzi's.....smh

Well they were cheap because they got robbed blind (idiots). Now their finances appear to be in order so they should be able to spend, again tons of money coming off the books. If nothing else we can match our payroll from last year and still field a exponentially more competitive team.

Even with that 40million off the books, they said they're still looking to bring payroll down this year. So not expecting them to make the moves we need to make thisteam better.

Where did you see they're bringing payroll down? I read earlier in the year they planned on having a payroll between $80-100 million next season. Considering they were around $80 million last year and have Bay, Johan and Frank Francisco all coming off the books I'd say they're in line to spend a decent amount this winter.

The only real way for the Mets to get better would be for the Wilponzi's to sell the team to a group of true baseball savvy owners.

I read they wanted a payroll about where they had it last year. I agree for the most part they arent cheap but like where they invest their personal money they have no idea how to invest their baseball money. How did these guys get rich again?

It was reported weeks ago that they still plan to bring it down below 80million. I hope it's wrong and they do actually spend.
