Dear Mr. Loria:
You do not suffer from unfair media coverage or fan misconceptions; you suffer from your own actions. Get that straight. You have been a meddling, impatient, erratic, under-spending owner whose stunning personal unpopularity has ruined much of the goodwill of the new ballpark and gutted support for the team.
You said and in all ways implied the new park would mean significantly bigger, competitive player payrolls. It was on that fundamental assurance and de facto promise that political and public support for the stadium was generated. Now, after one season of living up to your word, you have betrayed the public trust by reverting to your penurious ways. You call it an imperative for homegrown talent; that’s code for young guys on the cheap. It’s as if you played us all for fools. You come off like a plain liar.
The roster moves you called “bold” in fact devastated and infuriated so many fans who want to support the team but cannot bring themselves to support you personally. The failed mea culpa of that full-page ad would not have been necessary had you kept your word by keeping the players worth having (think Jose Reyes and Josh Johnson) and added, not subtracted, other talent. Your actions – your latest massacre of the payroll, and whether you are even willing to spend what it takes to keep Giancarlo Stanton – always speak for you, and of you, far more accurately than your own words.
Incredulously,
Greg Cote
