Thornton McEnery of the New York Post reports that New York Knicks and New York Rangers owner, James Dolan, has interest in purchasing SNY from Jeff and Fred Wilpon.
According to McEnery, that could require Dolan to also buy the Mets as well.
“Jim Dolan buying the Mets sounds crazy at first,” one banker told him. “But he has always wanted to merge [the MSG network] with another local sports channel. He needs baseball, and that might require taking a shot at the Mets.”
Dolan, 64, is worth around $1.5 billion according to the article, which would likely require him to purchase the team with at least one other billionaire since that comes up significantly short of the $2.6 billion offered by Steve Cohen to purchase the team initially.
