Fred Wilpon, who has seen his finances stung by the Ponzi scheme involving Bernard Madoff, says the team's cash flow is "OK." Wilpon is working to sell minority shares in the Mets, each for a total of $20 million and a four percent stake in the team. He said as many as 12 shares may be sold, which would infuse as much as $240 million into the organization. "They shouldn't be concerned about us owning the franchise, because we intend to own the franchise for a very long time," Wilpon said in a message to the team's fans.
