Bobby Bonilla Day up in Conyers Farm?

original seaver house,

Mets (and Yankees, and BoSox, but we’re going for the analogy here) pitcher David Cone paid $5.1 million for 16 Hurlingham Drive in 1998, and resold it in 2007 for $12. So he did fine. The current owner bought it a few sellers later for $11.840 in 2014 and two months later tried to flip it for $13.9 million. Whatever he was smoking wasn’t shared with potential buyers, so the listing expired.

So he began again in 2021, pricing the now-renovated house at $32 million (while the current listing claims a construction date of 2021, either the seller faithfully duplicated the original home or he renovated it — my money’s on the latter.)

Renovated or new, it’s still Conyers Farm, which has yet to see the COVID market reach so far north of town. Perhaps another version of Bat Flu will do the trick, but for now, the price has been reduced to $23 million.

That’s a whiff. This guy may end up doing no better than the Wilpon brothers, who entered into a very bad deal with another Mets player and didn’t do so well.
