Honestly, I don't see them going anywhere as long as they keep Minaya as the GM. He sucks. And I wonder how much the Mets would be able to spend anyways as the Wilpons lost a significant amount of money in the Madoff scheme.

Actually I think it was recently reported that they made money during that time and all the reports of them losing millions were false.

Jeff Wilpon came right out and said they lost a a whole lot of money but said they wouldn't let that effect team operations. So I don't think it it was false. How they react this off season should show how true that statement is as i'm sure they want to make some of that money back.

They made money in the scam but will most likely have those gains taken away in court.
