OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread

Answer to first question is NO. The Dodgers luxury tax on the Ohtani contract is based on its PRESENT VALUE of $460M. Not the future value on $700M, which today is only (ONLY??!!) worth $460M.

Are they finding a way around the top tax tier? Not in my mind. They are playing luxury tax on the current fair value of the contract.

does the deferment of $24 mil per year never get taxed?

Hopefully recruits and their families realize that just because someone posts on a RU message board does not mean that they are RU fans, trolls love to start nonsense on rival message boards

Alright @RUAldo and @yessir321, let's settle down here. I'm cleaning up the thread to remove the posts of you guys attacking one another, if you have a problem with one another please either take it elsewhere or put one another on ignore so you no longer see the others posts.

In regards to how the argument started, I promise you kids get "the talk" all the time at every single program, including Rutgers.

If Lathan can learn to box out and grab rebounds, it would be huge for this team. He tends to watch the ball and then forget about his man, who crashes the board as Lathan watches.

EO is finally doing it. But if we get 40 minutes of that on the court instead of 25, it would be huge. Lathan’s offense would be the cherry on top, but really needs to do his main job first - defend the paint and rebound.

I would be very surprised if that is the case, it would be too easy to eventually catch. The smarter play is what they are likely doing- let the coin pump organically then sell whatever of the 80% they still hold. Selling small portions of the 20% they released to the public would be beyond foolish.

And what would happen if he “got caught”? The general public has been flooded with so much crap about this guy they either don’t care or don’t believe it. Not to mention it’s been established now that he can do whatever he wants. I think they do this over and over again with this coin. Big “news” from Trump himself, pump, dump. Wait a period of time, do it again.

Didn't say it wasn't a good get, just not a huge get. Not meant as a put down of the recruit. More a put down of Rutgers Al.

Maybe just me, but a college game on January 20 seems anticlimactic. The season ended SO long ago.

Not only that but on a Monday night too! Usually by the time it's over its almost midnight east coast time. I'm not saying that they are hurting for eyes but I have to imagine that a Saturday or even Friday game would be better for viewers, bars, etc.

Or maybe that is just my own selfish opinion.

Santander contract: 5/$92.5M. AAV $18.5M. Opt out after year 3, which the Jays can buy out by adding a 6th year. Lower AAV than I would have thought. May not bode well for Pete.

But on the other hand, this takes a possible Mets Plan B off the table. May make Stearns more amenable to reopening discussions with Alonso.

It also makes 3 years $90mm look to high.

Do NOT need all 5 items. In fact, if RU got all 5 items it might be the 1st time ALL SEASON that happened.

Keys to PSU:

1) Hold PSU under 80 points. PSU is 1-4 when at 80 points or fewer ... 11-2 when scoring over 80 points.

2) Rebound

3) Harper and Bailey at least B+ games, with at least 2 players adding offensive contributions.

4) Keep turnovers manageable.

Oh ... I just realized you may be talking about ALL RU's remaining games, not just the PSU game ... Sorry.

Even so ... RU does not need ALL 5 your items every game. If I had to modify your list (not change the list, but what RU generally needs):

1 - Yes, RU needs both Harper and Bailey to play at All Big Ten levels MOST games ... But against certain match-ups a B or B+ game from 1 while an A- or A game from the other would be sufficient if other items on your list occur. It is pretty clear RU will not beat ANY Big Ten team if NEITHER Harper nor Bailey are playing well in any one game. The supporting cast is just not good enough to overcome that.

2) Yes, on Grant - though it does not always have to be in the stat line.

3) Yes on Ogbole/Sommerville ... good play though may not need to be defined by points ... rebounds, wall-up defense, rim protection, improving defending the high screens ARE important. RU WILL probably need some games where Sommerville scores 8-12 points, though ... depending on other things happening in the game.

4) JWill more than Davis, frankly ... Davis needs to play error free with strong on-ball defense when he is in the game. Williams needs to do more, especially scoring and intelligent play-making more often than not.

5) Martini, Acuff, Derkack - plus versions? Do not need that EVERY game from ALL 3 ... in ANY game RU gets that from all 3, assuming Bailey and Harper are at least B+, RU stands a strong chance of winning. RU DOES need 2 players other than Bailey and Harper to provide scoring each game (i.e. 8-12 points each ... if only 8 points, may need THREE players like that in a single game) - but it does not need it to be the same players each game ... It could be 2 of Williams, Martini, Acuff, Sommerville or Derkack ... asking that of Grant seems like a lot (that 15 point game versus Nebraska seems more like the oddity than the norm)

i don’t think there’s much disagreement.
As you noted, I wasn’t speaking about PSU only but about making a run for the remainder of the season. Also, I think it’s worth noting that when on Facebook, I tend to write in shorthand. Thus, rather than explain, for instance, all the elements that would compose a good game from DG I might say a good stat line. Others, a hum, may not be into such brevity. Is it likely that we will get all five of those occurrences in all games that remain? Certainly not and I didn’t mean to imply that Dercack, Acuff, Martini all need to have good games at the same time but a contribution from one or maybe two of them would be huge. Additionally, I did point out the difficulty, if not unlikelihood, of a stretch of games in which we get all five of those. Three or four of them? That though may be the minimum to finish up the season strong.
