Everyone gives that deal crap, but it freed up space for players who led them to a World Series. It was a smart deal at the time - Bobby was done and both sides knew it.

Now if only they hadn't invested the rest with a certain hotshot investor promising 12-15 percent returns in what turned out to be one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in US history...

IINM the Dodgers currently have 20 retired players on deferred deals.

It's a good joke, though. As a Met fan I appreciate it heartily.

100% agreed that the Mets saw this as a win/win deal at the time... I just laugh at the hindsight of the Wilpons getting played by Bernie Madoff.

The Mets don't play on the 4th.

How the f-ck can a team not play on the 4th?

It's the FOURTH!!!

Growing up we always had a DH on the 4th. I realize we don't do that anymore because f-ck the owners (and I'm sure the players hate them too), but come on, son. It's the FOURTH!!!

Interesting game in the Dominican Summer League yesterday. The Yankees beat the Twins 38-2.

Trying to decide what is more interesting from the box score:

1. Despite scoring 38 runs, the Yankees left 13 men on base.
2. The Yankees had 51 men reach base safely (31 hits, 12 walks, 6 errors, 2 hit by pitch).
3. All 11 position players who got into the game for the Yankees had at least two hits.
4. Despite winning by 36, a Yankee pitcher still got a save!
