You almost can’t believe it when you read it: The Wilpons are selling the Mets. Say it out loud to make it real: The Wilpons...are selling...the Mets.
Holy shit, it’s true. On Tuesday, December 3, Tiki Barber, of all people, unexpectedly shared on air (minute 38) that he had heard “from a little birdie” that a sale of the Mets might be underway. It was a wild and unsubstantiated statement from out of the blue, and though it caused a little stir on Twitter, it was easy to dismiss—that is, until Wednesday when Ken Rosenthal broke it open with a Tweet and confirmed that yes, indeed, the Wilpons are, in fact, really, truly, actually in negotiations to sell the team to a very rich Hedge Fund Guy named Steve Cohen.
