Report: Mets For Sale Without Wilpon Family's 'Preconditions on Control'

The Mets are likely to not run into the same issues again that led to the collapse of their sale to billionaire Steve Cohen last week.

According to Bloomberg, "No preconditions regarding control of the team will be attached to the upcoming sale" of the franchise, allowing a new owner to likely assume control immediately from the Wilpon family.

The report comes after Cohen's attempt to buy a majority stake in the team collapsed last week. It was reported that the Wilpon family changed the terms of the deal late in negotiations. Under the agreement, Fred Wilpon was looking to remain in the role of Control Person and CEO for five years.
