New York Mets sale: C.K. McWhorter attempting to join the bidding (Report)

Thursday was supposed to be the deadline day. All seven of the pre-approved bidders were going to hand in their opening bids and things would proceed from there. The sale of the New York Mets hasn’t gone to plan though.

First, none of the bidders came close to the Wilpons’ $2 billion ask. Then, Steve Cohen reentered the picture and is the favorite. And now, according to Joe Pantorno of amny.com, C.K. McWhorter is heading a group that’s looking to get into the bidding late.

McWhorter, the CEO of CTRL USA, is just 30 years old.
