Morning.
I have my own spin on the
Wilpon-Cohen proposed deal.
1.
Everything you
are reading so far means nothing. It’s bloggers being bloggers and beat
reporters trying to write something they can come back to and self-promote
themselves as the first person to have that news.
2.
The only people that
truly know what is going on is the Mets brass and Steve Cohen himself. Follow
the major rag Mets reporters and they will have the story first, when it comes
out.
3.
If this deal was dead,
one of these powerful people would have said something by now.

I have my thoughts coming in the morning but I agree with you that there's too much there for it to disappear.
No, it isn't officially dead. But Cohen is now insisting on an immediate turnover of control to him. Something the Wilpons will never go for.
Unless, members of the Katz family (who want to sell), press Fred and Jeff to do this, it will not happen.
Both sides have said they are bound by the non-disclosure agreement, and will not comment.
Yet the media guys claim to have "inside sources" who tell them what's really happening.
Ver-r-r-r-y strange.
We seem to be back to the 'sell the team' billboard stage...
I stand by what I said 2 years ago. The only thing fans can do to force a sale is stay away from the stadium, the parking, the tickets and the merchandise sold with the official team stamp.
Booing the Wilpons in the stadium mean they already got your financial support.
Hurt them on the bottom line and their Board of Directors will turn on them.
One would think Cohen would be more successful and make them more money.
Manfred this afternoon said that reports of the Wilpons demands being responsible for screwing up the deal are "absolutely false".
He said he got his info from talking to both the "buyer and the seller".
Bill:
Yes, I saw Manfred's comments on Baseball Night in NY tonight. I guess we really don't know what's going on for certain. A lot of times the "unknown sources" are people close to either the Wilpons of Cohen who have heard stuff.
Mack:
I hear what you're saying about boycotting the team if you don't like the Wilpons, but it may be a double-edged sword. Fans don't support the team, then there's less income and larger losses. Next thing you know, we're waving goodbye to deGrom, McNeil, Alonso, etc. because the Mets can't pay them.
