New York Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon is reportedly allowing his personal feelings to influence the process of selling the National League East team.
"Jeff Wilpon hates Steve Cohen," a source close to the sale told Thornton McEnery of the New York Post. "He wants A-Rod to come away with the team or make Cohen pay double the nearest offer. This has been a squeeze job for weeks now."
McEnery explained Cohen is worth approximately $14 billion and can offer the most money for the team. However, there are competing suitors, including a group that includes 14-time All-Star Alex Rodriguez.
