Thornton McEnery and Josh Kosman of the New York Post are reporting that the Wilpons want to sell the New York Mets by the end of 2020. The plan is to get opening bids in by July, close a deal by October, and have new owners ratified by December.
Harris and Blitzer have their opening bid in well before the deadline. The prominent sports owners are opening the bidding at $1.4 billion for the Mets alone. They are willing to buy the team without SNY, which would be a huge positive for the Wilpons.
