All indications are that the Wilpons will sell the New York Mets soon, several months after nearing a deal to sell them to billionaire Steve Cohen, only to have that deal fall apart late in the process. With several bidders, including Cohen, involved in the process now, it’s realistic that ownership of the team will change hands sometime relatively soon. Whomever ends up owning the Mets will inherit a roster that has minimal long-term salary commitments, several young and talented players, and plenty of holes to fill.
To start, the Mets have very little in the way of guaranteed contracts for the 2021 season.
