So it looks like the jersey was pulled from the auction and sold privately to two minority owners of the Mets for $365,000 on the condition of long-term public display. I guess this will be a relatively uncontroversial outcome in the long-run, but still not without controversy I'm sure.
As a Mets fans, I'm sure many of us wonder whether any other team is bumbling enough to have sold it in the first place. They bought a lot of goodwill with the pennant and then opening the vault door for Yoenis. Without that I think the theme of "exactly how desperate is this team for cash?" would have gained much more traction.

The jersey was sold to three people, the third being an anonymous woman.
