NFT: Mike Repole jumps into Mets bidding

I would want to include SNY in any deal, but I'm just saying, eventually if the Wilpons play hardball and don't include it, eventually SNY could be useless.

So, they would be smart IMO to include it, or at least a percentage of it.

David and Simon Reuben, who amassed a fortune investing in real estate, technology companies and leisure, are exploring a bid for the New York Mets, people familiar with the matter told Sportico. The brothers, who were born in India and moved to London as teenagers, have a combined net worth of about $14 billion — built on one of the largest portfolios of retail, office and residential properties. The brothers are likely drawn to the team because of the real estate development possibilities around Citi Field, said one of the people, who was granted anonymity because the matter is private.

That my friend is a bingo!!!
And the reason the Wilpons are ok with Jeffy staying “involved” with the team... franchise was a means to an end, and that is a MUCH bigger picture...

have been proposals and ideas for development dating back to 2011. They are nowhere near anything resembling a resolution or plan in which the Wilpons would gain profit.

ya know...the new arena and development at Belmont? That little project that they still have not paid up in full on.

I just pray for the day that Sterling Equities and all of the Katz/Wilpon family members who work at that joke of a corporation having nothing to do with the Mets, Citi Field or SNY.

by news like this because who knows what the next ownership will bring, but at the same time I can't wait.

"According to multiple sources familiar with Mets sale saga, the Wilpons will begin to field first-round bids on the team in July with an eye toward locking in a buyer by Oct. 1." #Mets

1.4B?

‘Serious’ Yoenis Cespedes should be ready for Opening Day

but as long as the Wilpons are out of control I really don't care. Will be the best day since advancing past the Cubs, and probably even better.

Famous last words but I think we will know fairly quickly who the next owners are and they will be on board before the next offseason. The Wilpons do not want to keep writing checks and they are down to their final strike in this sale process (the first was Cohen and now the pandemic obviously impacting the entire world economy). If they do in fact get 3-5 bids in the next month I think they will take one from a secure buyer that will allow for a smooth and expedient sale.

which is potentially more than Matt Allen got last year. Also more than he was offered by the LAD in the first rd a few years ago. Seems likely they will get it done but I believe it's Boras so you never know.

Jwffy is going to end up costing the family nearly a billion dollars. amazing. I think Ginn signs but as noted #Boras.

obviously a risk, but to get paid more he'd need to be redrafted in the 1st round at around pick 25/26 and get slot (or get drafted there or later and get over slot) but coming off TJS and not having pitched in a game maybe before the next draft it would be a gamble.

I think 75% chance he signs and the remaining 25%.. I'd say 20% is Boras and 5% is a kid wanting to stay in school.

I assume they lose the extra money they saved?

I will caution one thing, the lower the sale price, the more likely Jeffy and Co are still,pulling strings in one way or another. So as a fan, hope for the higher selling price.

You gotta imagine that Katz and the non-Jeff Wilpons are pissed enough about missing out on the $2.6B that there isn't any funny business this time around.
