Scott Soshnick of Sportico is reporting that final bids for the New York Mets are due Aug. 31. The final bidders are wall street billionaire Steve Cohen, Sports owner Joshua Harris, and MLB legend Alex Rodriguez.
This has been a long and arduous process. Fans and the media first learned of the team’s sale in December of 2019. Cohen was set to purchase the Mets for $2.6 billion, but things fell apart. In February of 2020 Cohen reportedly backed out of the deal due to the Wilpon’s five-year window of control.
