So for the record it was never the Wilpons. it was Alderson all along being cheap ! He is the one advising Cohen on what to spend and where. Alderson has blown 5 times 14.4 million dollars putting bad bullpens together for multiple years. To sign second best catcher not get Bauer and now being cheap on Springer is typical Mets. Richest owner in sports and being advised to come up small so they can win what 88 games, hope for a wild card. This news just took all the shine off of the upcoming season. On Springers side it was never about being “close to home” it’s always the money and ego with these guys. Is there really a difference between 125 mil or 150 mil. Apparently Alderson knows that answer.
