According to Charles Gasparino of Fox Business, the first round of bids is looking weak. Not a single bidder seems to be approaching the Wilpons asking price of $2 billion for the New York Mets.
SCOOP: 1st round bid indications for @Mets appear weak, likely below $2 billion-sources. Wilpons unlikely to sell at this stage unless something changes; bankers set July 9 for 1st round bids; hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen unlikely to participate-sources more @FoxBusiness

Gasparino notes that Steve Cohen isn’t likely to join in the first round of bidding, though he does say Cohen remains interested.
