Would it surprise anyone to learn that the Mets grossly overpaid to resign Nimmo? For all of the teams allegedly "in" on Nimmo, nobody came close to offering the deal Boros suckered the Mets into.
No, the wealth of the owners is not, as you put it, "obscene". They've been able to sell something that other people are willing to pay for or need. Nothing wrong with wealth. Attempts to eliminate what you describe as "obscene" excesses in wealth have resulted in lots of suffering and corpses (communism). And no, a billion is not "beyond comprehension". Overheated rhetoric. Ever take a math course? A million is a thousand thousand. Is that incomprehensible? Similarly, a billion is a thousand million.
