The potential sale of the Mets continues to look like it will fall apart.
On Thursday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred cast doubt on the reported sale to billionaire Steve Cohen.
"My belief is there's not going to be a transaction," Manfred said at the owners meeting in Orlando, Fla.
The commissioner's comment comes two days after reports indicated Cohen was going to give up his attempt to purchase a majority stake in the Mets. The New York Post reported Cohen was "deeply unhappy" after the Wilpon family changed the terms of the deal during a late stage of negotiations.
