We truly did not care about the New York Mets' financial flexing until their fans used their entire lost 2024 season as verbal preparation for their eventual addition of Juan Soto, then gloated so loudly in the aftermath of his defection that it could be heard from the International Space Station.
Never mind that the team seemingly forgot to supplement Soto with top-tier pitching or preferred to "fix" busted aces rather than import guarantees. Never mind that "Clay Holmes the Starter" was flawed at best and foolhardy at worst. They got Soto, and that was all that mattered to them.
