The End is Near
Mike Silva's NY Baseball Digest
Could it be — the New York Myets?
The word on the Street is that Wilpon may need to sell the team within the next thirty days since the infusion of cash from minority ownership may not be enough. It’s the financial sectors version of the rumor mill, but the facts make it very believable. This is where a Mark Cuban – it’s no secret he would love to own the Mets- could eventually swoop in and takes over the team. Remember, the minority investors were not vetted for a majority share by MLB. As much as Selig hates Cuban, wouldn’t he rather see his National League New York franchise solvent? Another name to keep an eye on is Mikhail Prokhorov. Think about how owning the Mets, along with their minor league affiliate in Brooklyn, would align with the Atlantic Yards project. Prokhorov would own SNY, and have the ammunition to really play ball with Jim Dolan and MSG.
