the angels have more purgatory than the mets tbh but they’re also in the tier of “this was entirely preventable and we’re just gonna laugh at you for it”
FUCK the angels
those assholes land the two greatest players in modern baseball history, one of whom is almost certainly the greatest to ever play the sport, and completely shit the bed trying to build around them

i’m literally mad that they’re worse than the Mariners. how the fuck do you manage that with that level of talent just hanging out on your roster

genuinely a miracle that the nationals were able to pull a world series run out of their ass right as their window was about to slam shut after squandering every other opportunity to do so. many teams are not so lucky

“what if you had to pay a guy $1 million a year to do nothing because your ownership lost almost all their money to Bernie Madoff” is possibly the worst question any general manager has ever been asked

it’s so funny. they deferred that contract solely because they thought they could afford it with the sweet returns their good buddy Madoff would get them

i am excited for the modern Mets strategy of “simply spend as much money as possible on random free agents then trade them midseason when the team is still bad” though

i’m a much bigger fan of the “get into a good run against bad teams right before the deadline, buy instead of selling your best player who’s definitely gonna leave, shit the bed, and put literally all your deadline acquisitions on waivers” strategy
jokes on you none of the top three payrolls are in the playoffs this year

You know I feel like this whole incident is even funnier when you consider the context that I am a Mets fan specifically because a while ago I had a gay crush on a Mets fan
the lack of a salary cap doesn’t actually help ownership as much as you might think
attempting to bruteforce doesn’t actually work, but it does definitely preclude proper league parity
wow what a reason to get yourself into the purgatory fandom

the mets have made the world series more recently than the yankees so. that’s something
you have limited roster space and baseball players frequently experience huge variations in performance for seemingly no reason. we have a case study this year of precisely why “just sign all the best free agents lmao” doesn’t work in the Mets
