Mets Say They Will Seek to Sell Part of Team

[Patrick333]

Fred Wilpon, the chairman of the Mets, said Friday that team would seek “one or more strategic partners” to offset the uncertainty created by a lawsuit brought by the trustee who is trying to retrieve losses stemming from the multi-billion dollar fraud orchestrated by Bernard Madoff.

Maybe they'll try to sell the management part?

During this past summer a caller called WFAN (francessa) and was 100% rightabout what would be the Mets future. He wasnt just a fan or a guy with a theory he was very clued into the SNY ownership situation as well as the debt levels the franchise had undertaken to build Citi Field. He predicted that the Mets would be selling the team very soon. Of course franessa dismissed the guy as someone who could know what was the real deal and of course the caller was spot on.
