It looks like the New York Mets are worth even less than even some of their most long-suffering fans might think — and are in the financial minors compared with their Subway Series rivals.
Owner Fred Wilpon is poised to enlarge his majority Mets stake in a deal that values the struggling team at roughly $1.5 billion, The Post has learned.
That’s considerably less than the $2.1 billion valuation that Forbes pegged on the Amazin’ s last spring — and less than half the $4 billion price tag that the Yankees would presumably fetch, according to the magazine.
