If you have a cut out at Citi Field you can claim your cut out from there. Mets did something right. Too bad they didn't let people know that they could have it ahead of time.

NEW YORK METS LAUNCH MR. MET DIGITAL BOBBLEHEAD
I can't tell if this is cool or lame. I am glad one of the Mets PR guys still sends me stuff.
NEW YORK METS LAUNCH MR. MET DIGITAL BOBBLEHEAD
Innovative giveaway for fans since they cannot attend games
FLUSHING, N.Y., September 23, 2020 – The Mets announced today that the team will bring Mr. Met to their fans in the unique form of a digital bobblehead giveaway. As the name suggests, a digital bobblehead replicates the fan-favorite collectible in the digital medium through a high-quality 3D model which is viewable in the browser of any smartphone or tablet. In addition to the familiar bobbling head motion, the digital figure can be viewed from any angle, revealing rich design details. The underside of the figure contains a value-added user bonus which is revealed by a digital scratch-off card.
The Mr. Met digital bobblehead features the beloved mascot in his familiar thumbs-up pose. The giveaway also links to a video retrospective of Mr. Met through the years and the scratch-off underneath the figure reveals a link to additional exclusive Mr. Met content that users may access and download for a limited time. The digital figure will be hosted on the team's mobile website (www.mets.com) and a link will be distributed to all fans on the team's email list. The giveaway is sponsored by team partner Citi.
“We are thrilled to provide our loyal fans a digital Mr. Met Bobblehead since they have been unable to see him in person at Citi Field this season,” Executive VP and Chief Revenue Officer Lou DePaoli said. “We look forward to our fans enjoying this very innovative and interactive giveaway.”
The Mr. Met giveaway was created by Digital Giveaways Group LLC ("DiGG"), a New York early-stage company that is pioneering the next generation of sports and event giveaways by migrating traditional formats, including bobbleheads, to a browser-based digital platform. The initiative was facilitated by AthLife, Inc, a DiGG affiliate.

SNY for sale?
From The NY Post
I have heard over the years that the other partners in SNY really can't stand the Wilpons/Mets and have clashed with the Wilpons/Mets in the past. And it has gone the other way too. Even though they are saying the Wilpons own 65 percent of SNY, there are about 800 million dollars of loans leaned agains that percentage. I have been told by some folks( I don't know how much of this is true though so it is just here say right now) that some of those loans have come from the partners of SNY.
The Wilpon family is open to selling the SNY cable television station after they finish selling the Mets, sources close to the situation said.
They would like the buyer of their 65 percent stake in SNY to be the new owner of the team, which looks to be Steve Cohen.
This month Cohen signed a deal to buy the Mets for about $2.45 billion, a record price paid for a sports team, and is now hoping to get approval from three-quarters of Major League Baseball team owners so he can complete the deal.
There have been no talks, though, between Cohen and the Wilpons about SNY, sources said, disagreeing with media reports Tuesday saying Cohen has an exclusive 30-day window to buy SNY once he closes the Mets deal.
“No preconditions exist,” a source said.

It makes no sense for the Wilpons to keep their shares because even thought they are "making" money on it, they also owe a ton of money.
