1) will enough people buy enough more tickets simply because of this to make a material difference (and yes, looking at all the “fans” that have refused to spend a dime until the Wilpons are gone, so enjoy those meaningless September games!)
2) and if not, will he fund out of pocket a major deficit?
Though for #2, the devil will be in the details, as in who eats the massive debt payments tied to the team!
Oh, I guess #3, would MLB approve him for any franchise, never mind one in NY?

When isn’t Mark Cuban interested in buying a MLB team?
‘If all of that TV money goes towards just paying the bills, then it’s not a good idea’.
Hmmm…even if the Mets did come up for sale, I’d translated this as meaning the team better be solvent or close to it before Cuban would consider it.
