MLB 2026: The dying of the light

The Wilpons made net money off Madoff. That was the problem. They had to pay out on the clawback, and that hamstrung them. But that wasn't the Bonilla deal.

Fred and Jeffy were Peak LOLMets as well as Peak LOLRichMorons. They deserve infinite scorn and a 99% marginal tax rate. But Bonilla Day is not considered a mistake inside Mets World, it is considered media ignorance.

Bonilla also has a similar deal with the Orioles. Albeit for less money and a shorter timeframe. So also some element of just good long term planning and foresight by him and his agent. The Mets get mentioned more because of the length, amount, and the connection to the Madoff thing. Without the Madoff thing it probably doesn't get the press. Maybe a little due to length but not as much
 
I thought the whole crux of the Madoff connection was that the ownership was to have the money owed to Bonilla sitting in Madoff accounts earning 15% while the money owed to Bonilla would be paid out at like 8%. So the ownership would be able to pocket the difference...

Or am I connecting two unrelated events that coincidentally occurred here?
 
Tigers call up Eduardo Valencia hit a HR in his first ever MLB at bat last night. Then got HBP the next at bat, so he’s rocking it at BA, OBP, OPS and SLG right now.
 
I turned the ASG on less than an inning ago and I don’t think I’ll make it through another with these commercials. Every single one is AI or Kalshi.
 
I ignored the All Star game for the umpteenth year in a row. Did the American League yet again beat the National League?
 
Since 1997 the AL is 23-5-1, and since the NL won in a swing-off last year I’m going to go with college hockey rules and call that a tie with a shootout win for points, so it’s really 23-4-2.

For a game that theoretically should be around 50/50 that is a fascinating stat.

When I was growing up, the NL absolutely dominated.
 
The Mariners will be having an alumni Home Run Derby as part of their 50th season celebrations on August 7th.

Ichiro has already said he’s participating and has been working out for it.
