Yes, the Mets Are Still for Sale. No, the Owners Don’t Have to Sell Them. - The New York Times

With the start of the season less than two months away, the Wilpons have put the Mets back on the trading block. What happens next is anyone’s guess.

As Steve Cohen, the hedge fund billionaire, ended his bid for the Mets last week after months of negotiations, he left no doubt what he wanted to happen next, as a fan and an investor.

“I’m very disappointed we couldn’t work out a deal, but as an 8 percent holder, I’m looking forward to a higher bid for the team,” he said. Cohen had offered more than $2.5 billion in a deal that fell through because of a disagreement over money and control of the team with the Wilpon family, which has had a stake in the Mets for four decades and walked away from two significant offers to sell. Now, as the Mets return to the auction block, the team’s future is as uncertain as it has ever been.

I went to a Mets game once with my finace. I get a bigger kick out of watching paint dry.

Funny thing about the sale was the MLB never gave it's blessing for the Mets being sold to Cohen.. But in todays 24/7 sports talk world where everything must be portrayed negatively people are flipping out like the sale was a done deal that fell through. And it was the stupid Wilpons who screwed up the sale.. It was not a done deal, not even close.

Actually it's coming out now that many owners were against the sale because quite frankly Steve Cohen is a scum ball.
