The owners of the New York Mest, the Wilpon family, may be forced to sell the New York Mets after Fred Wilpon was suckered by Bernard Madoff:
It has been suggested the sale of the team is almost certain.
Madoff, himself a Mets fan, defrauded Fred Wilpon and thousands of others in his Ponzi scam.
It has been speculated that the New York Mets club is worth around $850 million.
