Mets Agree To Sell Minority Stake In Team
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [May 28, 2011 at 8:54am CST]
SATURDAY: Adam Rubin of ESPN New York has learned the terms of the purchase, which sound extremely favorable for Einhorn. The $200MM buys him 30-35% of the team, and he has an option to increase his stake to 60% in three years. If the Wilpons do not want to give him a majority (and controlling) share at that time, they can refund the $200MM while Einhorn still gets to keep his 30-35% stake.

unless the Wilpons find 200 million under the mattress in the next three years, the reign of incompetence may be over

the Lereners are smart with their money and not desperate?

The wilpons either sold a third of the team for the interest on 200 million over three years, or sold a controlling interest in the team which they were determined not to do

The Lerners have that kind of money stashed under the mattress.
