Since I've gotten a few Mets centric followers recently I wanted to share this photo.
My brother (yes) and I eight years ago in the Mets dugout during a tour! They let me pick up the bullpen phone

WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS! POWER TO THE PLAYERS!
Baseball fans have repeatedly told us they have two issues with the game today: blackouts and fairness
We’re proposing to make three major changes to baseball:
1. Entering into a partnership with players where all revenues that are generated are split 50/50 between the teams and the players
2. Implementing a salary cap and floor that will regulate what each team can spend
3. Revenues from media generated in baseball are shared equally by the clubs
This will reduce the revenue disparity in baseball and help us address local blackouts
Major League players’ total compensation would go up and fans would get a more competitive game
It’s a win for everybody
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Current MLB Blackout regulations have nothing to do with a salary cap and we’re in fact created by the owners to ensure higher payouts from regional sports networks, protect ticket sales, and collect exclusive streaming deals.

“we will only address blackouts if players agree to limit their earnings and allow owners to pocket unlimited amounts of money earned off their labor”

The existence of MLB anti-trust laws, a draft, minuscule minor league salaries, 7 years of team control, and a luxury cap means a player NEVER reaches a free market valuation. Meanwhile owners get exactly that any day of the week when they sell their teams.

i’m fully convinced the media (every single one of those losers) is just hyping up “mets are the favorite for skubal!!” solely to just shit all over them and run with LOLMETS if he signs somewhere else
So not gonna happen. Cool cool cool
The biggest takeaway from the GM meetings is that nearly everybody expects Tarik Skubal to sign with the Mets, per @Feinsand

We just passed 500 whales in our NYC Humpback Whale Catalog!!
This is a HUGE milestone for the area, demonstrating that these animals are now a consistent part of our coastal ecosystem!

Wanda coming back was akin to the glass breaking and Stone Cold’s music hitting
‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ sold 60K+ tickets for Thursday night domestic previews alone following the Scarlet Witch’s return.
Ticket sales also increased significantly in other countries.
