Well if the Mets wait they won't bid against themselves either. $350m might have been more of a lock in a pre-covid world. I'm not so sure the Mets will have to go nearly that high. There are also many other SS options on the market in 2022. I think its definitely prudent to wait regardless of the tax.
Good point. I wanted to use a nice round number to illustrate the tax point, but it will be interesting to see where the contract value ends up. I linked to a piece by Tim Britton at the bottom that shows comparables. Thanks for reading!
