Scott Soshnick of Sportico is reporting that the New York Mets are down to four bidders. Hedge-fund billionaire Steve Cohen, sports owners Joshua Harris and David Blitzer, celebrity couple Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez, and a mystery bidder. Soshnick also reports that SNY is off the table.
Steve Cohen is the favorite in every sense of the word. He has the most money to spend, his $2 billion bid was the highest in the first round, and he’s the fans’ choice. It should be no surprise that he’s moving on to round two.
