Reading reports they are trying to get around giving up control. And something about wanting to keep SNY? Also that the owners need this more than Cohen does.

I also read they did the exact same thing years back with another potential buyer. They actually went behind his back to the league to try and prevent him from getting full control. He walked away too.

Swing and a Miss: Mets Deal Is Dead
Talks between hedge-fund manager David Einhorn and the New York Mets over the purchase of a stake in the baseball team collapsed Thursday, leaving the Mets looking for new investors to bolster the struggling franchise.
"We're finished here," Mr. Einhorn, 42 years old, said Thursday. "We're done."www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424053111904583204576544440589116526

Fred Will-con will never relinquish command of the team . He wants to sell the team and make team decisions that negate what the new owners wishes. Only in narsisitic NY can this even be a reality.

How in the world can the Wilponzies expect to receive 2 1/2 billion dollars from a new owner and expect that owner to step aside so they can continue to run the team?

ARod rising as potential buyer of Mets metsmerizedonline.com/2020/02/alex-rodriguez-arising-as-potential-buyer-of-mets.html/ He won't buy them. I don't think he's rich enough first off and no one will by them if they continue to insist that little Jeffie remain in management. The whole idea of buying the team is to end that travesty.

Yankees, Mets discuss potential Steven Matz trade amid rotation injuries With the Yankees in a search for starting pitching and the Mets in surplus, the two teams have spoken about potentially moving Matz to the Bronx, according to industry sources. Discussions were preliminary and there is skepticism momentum for a deal will build this early in the calendar. A void exists in the Yankees’ rotation with Luis Severino finished for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The Yankees are also without James Paxton, who will be sidelined until at least May after undergoing back surgery. A third starter, Domingo German, has 63 games remaining on an 81-game suspension after violating MLB’s domestic violence policy. The Mets are among the few teams in baseball with veteran rotation depth, following an offseason in which general manager Brodie Van Wagenen added free agents Rick Porcello and Michael Wacha. Those signings have left Matz to compete for a rotation spot in spring training. nypost.com/2020/03/02/yankees-interested-in-steven-matz-trade-amid-rotation-injuries/

I'd be shocked if the Yanks and Mets make a deal here. Me too. Me three. My sense it is that the Mets will ask for substantially more than he's worth and the Yankees will offer substantially less than he's worth and amazingly, they will be both be surprised at the other's offer. Then it will quietly die.

Then it will quietly die. On this one the Mets have the leverage. They do not have to trade him . He is cheep on a rookie contract. They can name their price and it does no matter if the bait is taken .

Conforto injury update It was the Yankees who were dealing with all the nasty injuries and surgeries. Not the Mets.
No more.
That all changed when word came down after the Mets beat the Astros 7-4 at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches on Tuesday that Michael Conforto suffered a strained right oblique on Saturday when he awkwardly caught a fly ball in right field. The Mets don’t seem to know how long Conforto will be sidelined. Oblique injuries are tricky and you’ll remember it was an oblique injury that sidelined Aaron Judge
Judge for 54 games last season. This may not be as serious, but who really knows.
read moreIt seems he is hit with the injury bur every season Cespedes opening in RF?

Steve Cohen Could Re-Enter Mets Bidding Is Steve Cohen back? He might be, according to a report by AM New York. A source close to the situation said that Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez’s interest in buying the Mets could re-spark Cohen’s. Why? Because it can give him an opportunity to buy the team “at a discount.” metsmerizedonline.com/2020/04/steve-cohen-could-re-enter-mets-bidding.html/

I just don't think the Wilpons really want to sell. The little one still wants control and any new owner would be crazy to agree to that.
If you are only willing to sell for unrealistic terms, you aren't actually selling, you're fishing.

If you are only willing to sell for unrealistic terms, you aren't actually selling, you're fishing. From what I've heard, everyone wants to sell except for Jagoff Jeff. He's the one who hosed up past deals by insisting on remaining in control.
