They used to get $10M and now they get $25M. The big increase in revenues was from individual teams doing local TV deals. The Mets were 21st in attendance with a below market TV deal and a pile of debt service, so it is not hard to figure out how they got so jammed up on cash flow. Their own fault, but they cannot renegotiate the TV deal because Time Warner owns a piece of the channel and won't approve an increased payment. Even with increased attendance, they won't likely be able to get to $150M in oayroll. Just having NY at the beginning of their name does not in and of itself increase revenue. It is a function of attendance, which has crashed, a TV deal, which is one of the cheapest and not renegotiable, ancillaries, which are a function of attendance and the MLB TV deal, which pays them $15M more now that two years ago. Their finances suck and are not likely to inprove dramatically even with increased attendandeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-83596697004951658422015-01-24T11:32:45.377-05:002015-01-24T11:32:45.377-05:00Reese -

MLB was a 9 billion dollar industry in 2014 and the Mets play in the biggest market and one of its most expensive. I just do not believe that "everything is good" if they continue to operate with a payroll under the Minnesota Twins.
