BREAKING (thread) For now (and these things can change) bidding for @Mets is coming down to Steve Cohen and Harris Blitzer. Despite all the leaks of investors, the @AROD group doesnt appear to have enough cash to compete, at least not yet. Again, this could change with another

Repole/Viola bidder willing to put up multiple hundreds of millions of dollars in CASH. But if this is Cohen v H&B, big question whether H&B will seek to outbid Cohen and his $2b valued offer for the team. H&B have said i the past they wouldnt but that doesnt mean they wont. ALSO

My sources say Cohen has made some calls about his ability to survive an owners vote because of his insider trading issues, and because he might spend on players. He has been told by @MLB execs he should be OK. Cohen also continues to say he wants @SNYtv,

which the Mets for now say isnt for sale, but most BB insiders say will be for sale. Again, most BB people say the sale will be done by the end of the season in October; Cohen and H&B are respecting the process and not going above the head of Allen & Co., at least not yet.
