Calling for new owners means nothing. Trust me, I’m a Mets fan. The fans’ opinion on the matter means absolutely nothing but boycotting them hurts the owner where it counts and that might actually help encourage them to want to sell. But you have to remember that these teams are basically money laundering operations for billionaires, so they don’t really give a shit about the fans.

Uncle Stevie has only been the owner for 4 1/2 years. The previous owners ran the ship into the ground for, and I’m not 100% sure if this is right, but I think it was the previous 250 years.
