As it was explained to me today, for luxury tax purposes, any money the Mets send the Astros to pay down Verlander contract is treated identically to having that money on their payroll. So if they’re sending $54M to HOU as reported, those are taxable payroll dollars for the Mets.

Why is Yordan not playing today

We should roll out tonight in the gold uniforms.
Even Yordan, our best player, is not immune from the inevitable Dusty-programmed day off the day after hitting a game winning HR.All I do is Nguyen said:

Farmer1906 said:Farmer1906 said:The New York #Mets are sending the #Astros about $54 million in the Justin Verlander trade, one executive said, if Verlander's $35 million option in 2025 becomes vested.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) August 1, 2023
Verlander is owed about $93 million, meaning the #Astros would pay Verlander about $29 million for 2 1/3 years
Assuming that is spread evenly that means we're paying…
6.2 M this year
18.6 M next year
15.1 M in 25 if he vests.
Pretty pretty cheap.
That's a bat!Wabs said:

Who? I'll pass on another Mancini flop that you feel obligated to play because you gave capital for him

I was looking for some backup info but couldn't find anything and didn't want to cause some heartburn
