Report: Jeff Wilpon 'Hates' Steve Cohen, Wants Alex Rodriguez Group to Buy Mets

New York Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon is reportedly allowing his personal feelings to influence the process of selling the National League East team.

"Jeff Wilpon hates Steve Cohen," a source close to the sale told Thornton McEnery of the New York Post. "He wants A-Rod to come away with the team or make Cohen pay double the nearest offer. This has been a squeeze job for weeks now."

McEnery explained Cohen is worth approximately $14 billion and can offer the most money for the team. However, there are competing suitors, including a group that includes 14-time All-Star Alex Rodriguez.
