Take out Johan Santana and Jason Bay
And the Mets’ payroll would drop to $50 million.
That’s not a typo.
They’re paying Santana ($24M) and Bay ($16M) a combined $40 million, and the rest of the team a combined $50 million.

They are "lucky"
that they are a big market team. Any other team that makes mistakes like those would be drowning right now.
