The Mets may soon find out if they are losers off the field as well.

At least three minority owners are set to sell a combined stake of roughly 10 percent in the MLB franchise, according to a report.

The stakes, held by cable TV providers Comcast and Charter Communications, and an unidentified entity, were purchased in 2012 as a favor to owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz, according to the report.

At the time, Wilpon and Katz were reeling from losses incurred when they invested cash with Bernie Madoff — whose investment firm famously turned out to be a huge Ponzi scheme.
