Former Yankee Alex Rodriguez, billionaire Steve Cohen, 76ers owner Josh Harris and a fourth unidentified party have advanced to the second round of bidding for the Mets, according to Sportico.
The investment bank Allen & Co., which is overseeing the sale, informed the groups of their advancement, reports Sportico. They were also told not to submit offers on SNY, the Mets' television network, which was previously reported as part of the sale.
Cohen reportedly put in a $2 billion bid in the opening round, while ESPN reported Monday that Rodriguez, his fiancee Jennifer Lopez and their group of investors placed a nearly $1.
