The loan made in the Fall of 2010 came out of Selig’s discretionary fund. And that is the loan that is being talked about in the March 2011 article, Your timeline doesn’t even make sense, The money was only needed late in the 2011 season or shortly thereafter, and so they wouldn’t need the extra money in March of 2011.

You’re wrong about the cash calls, And you’re wrong about the MLB loan.

The funny thing is I think even you know by now you’re wrong about the cash calls, Yet you’ve not admitted it nor apologized to Boomer who took you to school!

But believe whatever your crazy little self wants I’m done with you for today…

The loan they are talking about in that article is the $25 MLB million loan made in the Fall of 2010. There was no additional MLB loan made in 2011. LOL, that article is also from March of 2011 too, BEFORE any of those years losses could be accumulated.

You lost bad. Because even if there were a MLB loan MADE in 2011, you’re still wrong about the cash calls as both the NY Post and the very article you linked to proved. You’re just doubly wrong now as you can’t prove there was a MLB loan made in 2011!

Better luck next time.

“Wilpon asked Selig to loan him $25 million from the commissioner’s discretionary fund, and Selig said yes”
This was in addition to the 25Mil MLB loan!

Since then all loans were paid with sales of the team and not a single penny of Wilpons was used to do it…In fact they took out some money they fronted while they were getting those loans secured.

And we don’t even know if the short-term bridge loan was all used to cover the shortfalls.

Also, the very fact that there is a cash call clause for the new minority owners proves you are wrong,

The schooling continues!

70-65 is about 5 Million dollars in cash

Here endith the lesson!

You named major leaguers. My point was their FARM was weak. Which means there is a window, not a “dynasty” as you Chicken Littles are claiming.

As for a homegrown team, I didnt say draft and develop starters….just get some players at that position. Alderson had to sign bum catchers the last two off seasons because Omar had no catching worth even AAA in the organization. Remember, Thole was the starter and Nickeas was the backup. There was nobody at AAA. 1B…Ike and that is it. Middle IF…Cedeno is signed because the Mets have nobody to back up Murphy and Tejada.

That is the point. You heralded Omar left the minors is such poor shape that little of the talent he brought in is even able to make it to AAA. Even now, the AAA roster is going to be filled with a bunch of ST invites at C and OF. Do not forget, the AAA team needs to replace its best player, Fred Lewis, another journeyman player signed to fill a spot on the roster because there was nobody.

but anyone saying this isn’t Aldersons team now, and still likes to blame the last guy can’t betaken seriously.

Because by now, Sandy has had a chance to trade, release, replace or move almost all pieces around that he didn’t like.

Unfortunately, as I found out in another thread, some Sandy bashers want it BOTH ways and want to “cherry pick” blame/credit. That way they can blame Sandy if things don’t turn out well or give Omar credit it they do. SMH. Total double standards.

And, you have just proven yourself wrong! In that same ESPN article you linked to, even Sandy says: “On the other hand, I’m not surprised. With losses that we sustained last year, they have to be funded somehow — and that’s either with cash or debt. Owners can’t always get another loan if they are already highly leveraged. So cash is the only option!

There is no indication that the BRIDGE loan, which is a short term loan, was used to cover the shortfall in operating expenses. The 38 million that Wilpon plowed back into the team appears to be a separate transaction.

Even if they used some of the BRIDGE loan to cover the shortfall, there was still another 30-40 million in losses that year. Where do you think that comes from? Thin air?

Bottom line is you were simply wrong that a team’s owners aren’t liable for and don’t cover a team’s losses.

They actually put 40 Mil in and it wasn’t thier own money!
They did float the bills until the loan came in to repay them back the float.

Read it and weep….

So, yes, basically an AL Team, likely the RS or Yankees,told Cafardo that they wouldn’t touch either the Upton brothers with a 10 foot pole!

I’d ask you to try harder next time, but it would be useless!

Another example of owners covering expenses: I recall when the Red Sox had to pay the 50 million posting fee on Matsuzaka, John Henry had to use his own money. Now he may have gotten all or part of it back, eventually, but he had to cover the “shortfall” himself, out of his own funds.

In 2014: Wilfredo Tovar

You dont even know if Tovar is going to hit AA pitching…he hit a scorching .251 last year….

In 2015: Tovar, P. Evans or G.Cecchini

LMAOOOOOO

so basically, we have no depth at SS…not on the MLB level…both evans and Cecchini are so-so far in the minors…

awesome..

living on a prayer

Bob Joby will be your next SS

so basically, nick cafardo relayed the message that john doe, an asst secretary from the red sox and his buddy jane doe from the PR dept. red sox disagreed while having a six pack of coronas over the upton brothers…

frames it in a way that makes itlook like he spoke to 19 scouts and 4 GM’s

yeah ok

try harder…except next time…with more flair
