Mets owners close to selling stake in team
梅子老闆賣球隊股份

By Mark J. Miller

The New York Mets may not be having a stellar season on the field, where the
team has gone 13-18 so far, but at least some off-the-field financial relief
appears to be close to happening.

紐約梅子隊今年在場上打的不怎樣，到目前為止13勝18敗，
但在場外慘澹的財務狀況最近將會獲得援助。

The New York Post reports that controversial hedge-fund titan Steve Cohen is
very close to becoming a minority owner of the team. Cohen and the team's
owners were scheduled to meet Thursday night at Gabriele's Steak House in
Greenwich, Conn., to talk over the possible transaction, sources told the
Post.

據紐約時報報導，爭議性很高的對沖基金天王寇帝芬差不多要變球團的
小老闆了，寇先生和球團老闆週四晚跑去家不理牛排屋約會，談一些可
能的交易。

Mets co-owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz had four finalists to sort through
earlier this week and have settled on Cohen as the next investor in the team,
the paper notes.

梅子隊共同老闆韋萊德和柯燒，在本週稍早之前已經和四個投資者聊過
，現在決定安排寇先生當球隊下一個投資者。

The Mets are looking for around $200 million from the next investor, the Post
reports, which would help offset the team's current financial troubles. The
paper points out that the team lost about $60 million last season.

紐時報導，梅子隊希望從下個投資者身上挖個二億資金出來，藉此補一
下財務缺口。另外還指出球團上季虧了6千萬。
