A new report from the New York Post’s Mike Puma shows how out of touch Mets’ owner Fred Wilpon is about what it takes to put together a championship-contending team in New York.
Puma’s biggest highlight has to do with the elder Wilpon’s reaction to the news that the Yankees acquired National League MVP, Giancarlo Stanton.
“Fred is pissed every time the Yankees make a move,” said a person who speaks to Wilpon regarding baseball matters. “And he always seems surprised.”
Apparently, Wilpon believes the crosstown rival should be operating like the Mets in 2017 – a small market team that has to crunch numbers to be able to afford signing some players.
