Donald Trump said Tuesday that Mets owner Fred Wilpon called him to set up a face-to-face meeting to talk about buying part of the club, The New York Times reported. But Trump said he wants to be boss.
Faced with a lawsuit seeking up to $1 billion to repay victims of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, the Mets have explored selling 20 to 25 percent of the club to fund a settlement. But Trump, like others, has expressed an interest in buying a majority share.
"The Wilpons are friends of mine, and I really hope it works out great for them," Trump said, according to the newspaper. "But if anything doesn't work out for them, I'd be interested in the team."
Well there you fucking have it. The Donald wants to buy the Mets. This man hasn't had anything fail for him, uhm, ever. And he is a zillionaire so I'm pretty sure he can just start going Steinbrenner on the league and buy young superstars left and right. Which is exactly why I 10000000% support this. If the Wilpons cared about the Mets, they would sell the team and pay off their $1 Billion debt from the Bernie Merdoff debocle which left him in HUGE debt and with a hundred different lawsuits. And being a life Mets fan, i think its time for something good to happen. The last two times something good happened to the Mets, it turned out terrible. (The 2000 World Series, because we made it, but lost to our arch nemesis the fucking Yankees. And then in 2007 when Tom Glavine, our fucking ace, blows the last game of the season against a shitty Marlins team.)
