Since the Wilpons announced they're looking to sell part of the Mets,
speculation has connected just about everybody with a fat wallet to the story.
It was inevitable that the name of billionaire and spurned potential baseball
owner Mark Cuban would come up, and he talked today with Newsday columnist
Barbara Barker. She passed along the following quotes via Twitter.
"I will not chase after it. If someone sees me as a potential owner, I will
take their call."
"I feel l I would be a good owner in baseball, but I'm not going to go thru
same process I did with Rangers and the Cubs."
"If they want to sit down and sell me on it, I can be a willing buyer and
willing customer."
Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was shut out in an attempt to buy the
Cubs in 2007, then finished second in bidding on the Rangers last summer.
It doesn't seem like "silent minority partner" is a role that particularly
suits the outspoken Cuban, but if the Bernie Madoff lawsuit is damaging
enough to force the Wilpons to sell controlling interest, it could be quite a
circus to see him in control of a New York team.
That's if he were apporoved as an owner by the other owners, which still seems
like a big if.

上篇新聞之後訪問本人表示
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told The New York Times' Howard Beck he is
not interested in purchasing a stake of the New York Mets.
Cuban said "I'm not chasing any more baseball teams" before his Mavericks
played Wednesday, Feb. 2, at Madison Square Garden.
好吧,他沒興趣......
