No idea.
Steve's money and wanting to win.
Why? Clubhouse culture. Money. Ownership commitment.
NO MORE OVERPAID, OLD FREE AGENTS – it's all about the farm system !!!!!!!!!!
You guys made so many great points about why free agents want to play in Queens but one thing you forgot. This organization from top to bottom are actively engaged with the community and the fans. By this I mean, having players going to schools along with Mr and Mrs Met, former and current players having signings creating life-long loyalty, hosting community charity events where people can have direct access to the team/organization. All of this activity establishes a strong relationship between fans and players long after they retire. Maybe this is a topic for you to discuss…what the organization plans are for the community this off-season and into next season?
