Mets Will Have 'Substantially Higher' Payroll In 2014

Sandy Alderson suggests that it's reasonable to think that the Mets could flirt with a $100 million payroll for Opening Day 2014.
"I know it will be substantially higher," Alderson said. "There's a substantial capacity there and hopefully we can use it."
The team's ballpark-related revenue has been far below what was expected, dropping last season for the third straight year to $121.5 million, roughly half of the $234.3 million the Mets had projected.
