This is the worst Mets news of the offseason if true.

Losing the Wilpons would be worth losing Reyes.

Is anyone actually surprised?

I fully expected them to raise the money, I don’t know why this is a surprise. We’ll see how this turns out in the end.

So, what realistically does this mean?

With $100 million dollars, they’re able to cover their most recent debts/losses, meaning that from this point forward, Mets operating costs will be more or less a net neutral?

On the plus side, these are essentially loans

which must be repaid after 3 years, and at 4% annual interest, so they’ve really gone deeper into debt.

Yeah really.

Four recs (you’re welcome) is not enough.
