So not only we lose out on Betts, but the Wilpons are here to stay??? :why:

At this point, just trade everyone after we finish another year 1-3 games out the WC, and prepare to tank from 2021-2025 :to:

The Wilpons aren't going to get more than Cohen is willing to pay. This is probably him playing hardball and I can see him breaking the NDA should the deal officially be dead.

Raleigh by way of Crooklyn
I heard a financial reporter who covers these hedge fund dudes on WFAN with Evan and Kim Jones; he basically said that the Wilpons was tryna put the screws to Cohen and he wasn't having it. He did say that perhaps MLB comes in and tells the Wilpons that they need to make the deal, when the other owners see how much they got for the Mets, the value of all the other franchises goes up.
