Ey Joe B is always honest at least.
Yanqui way
A damn shame.
Rogers is like baller, so they can if they want to.
Yeah, all his four teams have let him down in so many amazing ways (jets,mets, knicks, rangers).
The Elite
BOSS
Maybe they are far enough removed from the NHL TV deal that they'll consider it.
They have the money to sign more than one David Price.
I can't imagine what it's like being a mets, jets, and Knicks fan. It's the trifecta of fuckery and clowns.

don't get your hopes up... I mean sure they can "afford it" but there's limited incentive in their minds to spend big on something so insignificant to their overall profitability. and there's also the issue that they're earning most revenues for the Blue Jays in CDN$, but spending in US$
Bills? You don't see many New Yorkers who are bills fans, at least, not in the city.
I'm Yankees, Knicks, Rangers, and Colts (Peyton Manning was my favorite player when I first got into football, remained a Colts' fan ever since).

Thurman Thomas was my idol, so gravitated to the Bills. So I'm basically just rooting for 4 teams (Rangers recently look like they might FINALLY DO IT) that I KNOW will always fail me.

Mets, NY Giants, Jazz here.
How did you become a Jazz fan
Nah I'm not for it, I'm just saying Rogers has money. While I consider myself part of LeafsGAF, I'm not part of JaysGAF. So I don't have any real stake in AA going out and spending money. He can either become Pat Gillick or end up like Gord Ash or JP.
Honestly, the Rangers are the dagger in his heart as they came decently close a couple years back (kings were a much better team).
Of his four teams, the Rangers last won in 94, Mets 86, Knicks 75, Jets 69,
It's not like his partner is that much better Mets 86, Islanders 83, Nets 76 (Aba), Jets 69.
Think Evan is around 30 so he was only alive for the Mets one championship.

First game I ever watched was jazz vs bulls and I remember thinking damn the jazz never miss lol ever since then been following them.
I love how the Marlins front office patronizes fans while defending themselves, "Oh if they were educated they would know".,well let's see Mike. Our farm was absolutely depleted due to the dumb trades you made this summer, "Hey let's trade our best prospect (Andrew Heaney) for Dee Gordon! Even if the Dodgers only asked for Nicolino (4th best)". You know what's a great idea? Trading Desclafani for Latos only for them to perform identical to each other except one of them is younger and under control longer, while the other is older and will leave in a year because he hates your organization.So now what was our strength, which was young pitching, is now a weakness. Because we gave up 2 of our starters for a rentals and Dee Gordon, who will absolutely jump ship or get traded soon. We traded our 1st round pick of 2 years ago, Colin Moran, for Jarred Cosart. The Marlins then DFA'd Jacob Turner, who is basically Jarred Cosart, because they are pretty much the same person. Our hitting sucks, because we can't create any kind of runs without Stanton and none of our position players get on base or hit. We have no 3B, a SS the organization loves who is freaking mediocre by any metric that isn't the eye test, no 1B and you're holding our CF ransom so he doesn't get Super 2 status.
Finally, you dump Latos and Morse along with out 35th pick, because it saves you money. Our whole team is basically being paid for by the Dodgers. Then, the excuse will be "No fans come to the stadium, we can't be competitive". NO ONE IS GOING TO WATCH YOUR MEDIOCRE TEAM GET BLOWN UP AGAIN.
I went to Game 5 against the Giants in '03, I saw Pudge tag out JT Snow at home while 65k people blew up in cheers. I went to Game 5 of the World Series where another 64k saw the Marlins inch closer to the championship. People will go to your games if you field a competitive team, but you need to spend money, and seeing as how that's not an option for this ownership, it will never happen.
My rant is over now, my team is worse than yours and I know it.

I love what Houston is doing. I wonder who they gave up.

That's how you do it Mests.

There's still a chance for Morse! lol.
Do what exactly? If they were concerned, they are within their rights to pull out of any deal.
It was all about the Wilpons being cheap motherfuckers, not Gomez' hip.

Houston, KC and Toronto all going after it.
So much disappointment in store for the majority of people.

Holy fuck the Mets got butt fucked by that Gomez trade lol.
Man, seeing all of these returns that these other teams are getting in these trades over the past couple of days makes me even more pissed off about the Olivera trade for the Braves.
A little bit, yeah.
Phillips was rated #2 prospect. Santana #7. Hader #14
I mean, they're still stacked with talent in the minors.
I see.. So The Brewers are happy that the Mets nixed the deal then? got better package.

That issue also impacted the 92 and 93 teams. I wonder how profitable the team was back then.
