2011 New York Mets

Its looks like the Wilpons are looking to sell a share of the team (20-25% to be precise). One of the interested parties is a group that has Martin Luther King III and Ed Kranepool and they are looking for 50% share of the team.

I was just going to ask about this since I saw this info on TV yesterday. I didn't know the share they're looking at was that big though. What's the buzz in NYC about this?

It'd be a great PR boom to have MLK III owning the Mets in any shape or form IMO.

I really hope the Wilpons have to sell the Mets because of the Madoff fiasco. They are horrible owners. Why would anyone give them say 200 million for minority stake in the team? You have no real say in baseball matters and the only thing you are doing is helping the Wilpons keep the team under control to serve themselves.

So with the new season right about to get going what do you guys think of this team? Should the Wilpons sell the entire team to somebody? Should they trade anything and everything for Albert Pujols?

Of course they should sell the team. I love Pojols, but it wont happen.

That really, really can't be good...they are running this franchise into the ground right now.

I feel like I should be happy about this... but I'm not.

As much as I hate the Mets, it always makes things more interesting when they're actually competitive. Plus, nobody wants to actually see a team fall apart.
