I don’t like to go back through the archives to dig up stuff I was right about because more often than not I find stuff I was wrong about. But here’s what I wrote on February 11:

So is this how it’s going to be now? We’re just going to start speculating that every single rich person with even vague ties to baseball or New York might purchase the Mets?…

There are a ton of extremely rich people who aren’t celebrity rich people, meaning that there are prospective buyers beyond Bloomberg and Mark Cuban and James Dolan and Derek Jeter and whoever else. It might not make for an interesting story if some hedge-fund manager from Chappaqua that no one outside the financial world has ever heard of emerges as a candidate to buy all or part of the team, but I can’t imagine it makes much of a difference to the Wilpons or, for that matter, to the Mets in the long run.

Today, the Post is reporting that the leading candidate to buy the Mets is indeed some hedge-fund billionaire that I’ve never heard of. Only he’s from Greenwich, not Chappaqua.

Keep in mind the Post also reports stuff like “Jerry Manuel is suffocating from the silence above him” and “The Mets are prepared to name Luis Hernandez starting second baseman” and “Bat Boy Lives!” so we should probably take this with several grains of salt.
