Dave Howard, the Mets' executive vice president of business operations, went on Fox Business Network on Monday night to shoot down the claims of author Erin Arvedlund, who said Friday that owner Fred Wilpon would be forced to sell the team because of losses related to the Bernie Madoff scheme. Former Mets GM Jim Duquette also appeared on the program, after criticizing the Mets on his radio show Sunday.

As the video shows, Arvedlund cites only "her opinion" in a possible sale of the Mets, while Howard says unequivocally that the Mets -- either minority or majority stake -- is not for sale.
