What you were told is that he couldn't reduce the value. Deferring $15 million doesn't lower the value under $16 million.

that means mets have close to 45 million to spend to stay at the projected 100 million payroll. lets see if they actually spend it before cheering.

Ha! ALL of that money will go to line Wilpons pocket.

Bourn stinks

LOL Spinmister much? First I dont think the deffered moeny from this year as the report says he will be PAID 8 Mill not 16 this year, Which would mean that his contract value for 2013 is 8 not deffered, That said I also said he could deffer money and you and yours trashed me for that as well, Just be a man and admit you knew nothing.

Not really because there are a number of guys who will be getting increases but we do have money now.
