As Mets fans we've all heard the debate over whether the Wilpon's are financially struggling.

Meanwhile, it's been speculated, reported and even published in a book that the Wilpon's are so strapped they may have to sell the team...What do I believe; I believe actions speak louder then words and as I see it, there are some troubling actions speaking for the Wilpon's.
