Bob Nightengale of USA Today is reporting that MLB executives believe that the bid led by Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez is the “clear-cut favorite” to purchase the New York Mets.
Several #MLB executives believe that the Alex Rodriguez ownership group, which has shown it has the money, is now the clear-cut favorite to purchase the #Mets. There's an Aug. 31 deadline to provide the best and final bids, according to Sportico.
