NEW YORK _ Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said the team has "four or five suitors," double what is publicly known, but otherwise spoke in vague generalities and left a lot to the imagination during an appearance Thursday night.
"The team will have some kind of transaction," Wilpon said during a panel for UJA-Federation of New York, a Jewish philanthropic organization, according to a transcription reported by Bleacher Report. "I can't tell you exactly what it's going to be and how it's going to look, but we're working towards a transaction and there's four or five suitors that are out there to do something with.
"(There is) a bunch of philanthropic planning and family planning that my dad (Fred Wilpon) and uncle (Saul Katz) want to do, and it's totally fine. And when we have something to truly announce and tell you about, we'll do that. Not going to play the speculation game."
