Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Monday, May 12, 2014
Saul B. Katz, who owns a majority share of the Mets in a partnership with his brother-in-law and business partner, Fred Wilpon, has expressed a desire to sell his portion of the team because he has grown tired of spending millions to prop it up, according to several people in baseball briefed on the matter.
But Katz has been hesitant to sell because it could result in Wilpon’s no longer maintaining majority control, according to the people familiar with Katz’s situation. This has created a situation in which Katz has been locked into subsidizing part of the team’s losses in an effort to protect Wilpon, who considers the team a family heirloom and wants his son Jeff to control it for years to come.

1. Russlan thinks deGrom is da bomb Posted: May 12, 2014 at 10:39 PM (#4705518)Colon is obviously going to keep his spot in the rotation for now because of his contract. I wonder how long his leash is.
And this is a problem...how??
