According to Thornton McEnery and Josh Kosman of the New York Post, New York Mets COO Jeff Wilpon is not part of the ballclub’s sale process. Only Fred Wilpon, Saul Katz, and Allen and Co. are involved in the sale.
The move to remove the younger Wilpon from the process stems from his involvement in the failed deal with Steve Cohen earlier this year. Jeff and Cohen have a contentious relationship, to say the least.
Their dislike for one another can be traced back to the five-year window.
