Oh Mets, the soap opera that writes itself. I swear I don’t think they are even a real team, just a well crafted TV show.
As little as I understand about finances, I did understand this excerpt from the LA Times…and yes this story would be far less interesting if we were referencing the Arizona Diamondbacks or Kansas City Royals.
Wilpon could sell a share in the Mets and/or SNY, the team-owned cable channel, to help finance a settlement, at $1 billion or something less. And what that means for baseball is that Wilpon would be diverting the money generated from any such sales to resolve litigation rather than to improve the team.
McCourt and his attorneys would find that extremely interesting.
