The upside, as far as I’m concerned, is that this means — I think — the courtroom stuff will no longer loom over the franchise. The downside is that it doesn’t look likely the Mets start shelling out big money on payroll again anytime soon. I assume.

Hey, you know what I like? Baseball. Also: Sandwiches, dinosaurs, funk music, space travel, architecture, action movies, Taco Bell and novels. High-stakes real-life financial dramas, like politics, just kind of make my brain hurt when I think about them too long.
