The Wilpon family seem to be on the hook for paying back money in regard to the law suit coming from the people who lost money off Bernie Madoff scandal. For years, there has been rumors circulating that the Wilpon family lost a large sum of money from Madoff. The Wilpons have denied that they are broke as a result of Madoff. Now, they are looking to sell off part of the team to get money to pay off the lawsuit. Good Bye Jose Reyes!

Sandy Alderson can run a team on a budget. But, this definitely changes the equation. This scandal will live on for a long time and rumors will circulate all year long. Huge uncertainty will have the players answering questions about this. Bad situation for not only New York, but for the organization moving forward. The Mets have alot of money coming off the books after the season. Who knows if they will have money to spend.
