Tiki Barber is a borderline Hall of Fame running back. He ran for more than 10,000 yards in the NFL for the Giants. And now he is part of Mets and New York sports media lore.
Who was the first to mention the Mets were being sold by the Wilpons?
It was Barber on his national CBS Sports Radio show with Brandon Tierney. Late Tuesday afternoon, Barber, in almost an aside, said he heard the Mets were thinking about selling.
“I said, ‘Look, I have friends who know friends and a guy who knows a guy told me that this is what he thinks is going to happen and, if it does, you heard here first,’” Barber told The Post.
