The Mets are seeking another huge loan to cover basic operating expenses, according to a report by The New York Post. JPMorgan Chase is trying to recruit other institutions to put together a new loan for the Mets to tide them over until they sell a minority stake. The franchise's financial health has been imperiled by investments by its owner, Fred Wilpon, in Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme. A well-placed source said both the Mets and MLB are exerting strong pressure on JPMorgan to make that loan happen.
