Even more money being saved due to insurance.. that WONT go back into the team. :shaq2:
Did you want them to spend to keep Cespedes tho? The narrative they don't spend $ is dumb. They do it just usually doesn't work out and is usually at the behest of their fanbase. That's why I am encouraged by Broadie, he isn't listening to fans or what is the usual he is doing him.

You're missing my point. Insurance covers roughly 75-85% of his and Wright's salaries. Instead of investing that recouped money back into the team, they sit on it.

After they signed Cespedes and he then got hurt they signed DeGrom, Wilson, Ramos, Lowrie and Familia. What are you talking about?

After Cespedes went down THIS year and they collected on his salary THIS season, they didn’t put it back into the team. Same with Wright. I’m not sure why you’re :cape: for the Wilpons right now. Every writer and their mothers written about how frugal they’ve been with the insurance money.

Wait, what?! If it happened THIS year what free agency period are you talking about they didn't do anything?

Keuchel?


Kimbrel?


We make the post season if we sign one of them. Especially Kimbrel.. who would’ve alleviated the bullpen a bunch.
