Four prospective ownership groups have moved on to a second round of bidding for the New York Mets, according to Sportico's Scott Soshnick.
Former MLB star Alex Rodriguez represents one of the groups still in the running.
Steve Cohen, who walked away from a deal to purchase the Mets in February, bid $2 billion in the opening round and made the cut.
The duo of Josh Harris and David Blitzer is also alive in the ownership sweepstakes. They could add the Mets to their stable of sports franchises that includes the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils and Crystal Palace FC.
