Did any one know about this?
From Adam Rubin-
The refinanced loan reportedly also does not restrict the Mets’ payroll, whereas the original loan’s terms capped how much the Mets could spend on players. The Mets’ payroll currently is about $87 million for 2014 — well below what is customary in a large market such as New York.
There was always speculation on what the Mets could spend on players the last few years, but did anyone know there were terms to the loan out about how much they could spend? Is this the truth? Does this kill any conspiracy theories about Sandy and the Wilpons? Or, does this create new ones? Can we get Mulder and Scully on this case?
