With Ike at first, Ruben at 2nd, Hanley at ss, platoon the redhead, and Murphy at 3rd— a pretty good infield for now– look for a 3rd sacker down the line– I heard a rumor Ike for the Pirates CF, I’d do it and put Murph on 1st–

I travel for work and I don’t get taxed based on what office I’m working out of. Just seems a little odd to me.

You aren’t making a salary for performing in another state.

Like when a singer has a concert in New York City, they will pay taxes on their “salary” because they are “making a living” in that state.

It’s a taxable service called a duty tax but some call it a jock tax.

First, Albert would have to live in Florida.
Second, he’d pay taxes for 81 games so when he’s in NY for 3 games making $154k per game, he’s paying taxes on that salary when he’s in NY

The tax thing is only as big as Albert would want to make it.

Albert’s going to make roughly $12.5 mil if he were a Marlin (while in Miami) so even if an income tax rate was 10% which is pretty high, he’d be losing say less than $2m a year on income tax (and again he’d have to declare residency in florida)

So would you rather have a legit winner waiting for you, plus trade rights before your 5 years kick in or an extra $2mil a year plus having to buy a home in Florida?

I’m not sure… if its me I’d rather be in LAA, they have more of a commitment to long term winning. Miami is tough to trust, what if they miss the playoffs, Hanley gets dealt and the stadium doesn’t fill? They would trade Albert so fast its not even funny

They can’t afford him any more than they can afford Wright anyway.

He could use a change of scenery. Then let Murph play 3B, go with:

Torres CF
Murphy 3B
Ramirez SS
Davis 1B
Bay LF
Duda RF
Thole C
Tejada 2B

Bench
Nickeas C
Turner 2B 3B
Satin 1B, 2B, 3B, Corner OF
Free Agent OF
Free Agent Middle Infield

Santana
Niese
Dickey
Pelfrey
Gee

Francisco CL
Rauch
Byrdak
Ramirez
Parnell
Loogy Free agent

I would send Beato to close there and be depth later. Eat Carrasco or ask him to go to the minors.

Perhaps it should be Tony Bernazard. In the outfield make sure you have Manny. You’d be happy for about three weeks, then we’d hear you either complaining or screaming.

Are you guys nuts? How the hell are you going to pay him? Ridiculous idea that will never happen. HR may be wind up outside Miami, but not on the Mets.

So far sandy or someone on the mets finally listen to me or just us fans, cus he’s done something. Also even if reyes gets 85 mil from the mets, he will still make out even with the tax. I hope reyes starts crying cus now he says watch out mets and to the fans cus my new team is taking us out, i hope this time we get even and have the last laugh.

BY why should we help the ?Miami Marlin’s who have alway been our big problem team. They wanted to become a big team not there team history. Well they wanted to spend so much money on Reyes let them deal with there problem children Hanley Ramirez. Wait until the Miami Marlins run into the problem of the Walpons and have to start there Fire Sale who who will buy there $191 + million dollars Jose is Crying that the Mets didn’t want him he just was greedy and got some sucker to pay him what he wanted. Why should the Mets Make there offical offer if he and his team would laugh at it. But said they did not want me. It’s not we did not want you it we did not think you were worth lucky at 5 yrs and $80- 85 million but no you want an addition $20 million dollars plus being in a no state income tax.
