We've been saying that we want to take Bobby Bonilla Day back for a while now, but this was our first opportunity to do it and it looks like the Mets beat us to it! We've been saying for YEARS that every team defers money and that it's a normal thing to do to remain competitive in baseball, but thanks to that hack Rovell, the Mets have become synonymous with awful contracts. Every July 1st, without fail, Mets fans have had to endure this black stain and blasphemy on our reputation, but NO MORE. The Mets partnering with Bobby Bo on an Air BnB suite in the stadium and a wink, wink, commercial giving a little nod to his infamous poker game is truly a sign that the tides have turned. The contract used to be a beacon of the poorly run and quite literally, poor owners of the city's second franchise. Now it's just ashtray money for Uncle Stevie and something that fans can laugh off, knowing that it will never be truly consequential ever again. KFC breaks down some of the worst deferred contracts that aren't Bonilla based, provides the history that led to it, what resulted for the team from having done it and sets the record straight once and for all that it was actually one of the better moves that were made at the time. We also discuss the giving Robbie Cano the Bobby Bo treatment, breakdown the beatdown by the Braves and look ahead to deGrom's start (back when we were optimistic and hadn't had our hearts ripped out by Lugo/Guillorme yet) The Mets remain 2 games up in the NL East, but for how much longer is anyone's guess. We gotta believe that heading into the Bronx will give this team the wake up call that they desperately need, but this could be a long haul to the all-star break.
