My afternoon news sweep noticed a story in Business Insider. I thought there was nothing new, but then the following perked my eyes.
One source is telling Business Insider that the Mets will have to sell more than just a portion of the team, noting that the Wilpons “need to sell a stake in it TV network SNY if any kind of deal is going to get done.” The source also feels that Jeff Wilpon (Fred’s son) “is not grasping the reality of the familys circumstances” and that the Mets may be operating with a $80 million operating deficit this year.

One thing about Jeff Wilpon, he’d never charge you to print out tick…oh wait never mind.
