Long-suffering Mets fans have to hope that Steve Cohen’s threat to walk away from his offer for the team is just a hardball negotiating tactic.
Because the fans are desperate to see the Wilpons gone. Their history of poor decisions is just too long.
If Cohen does walk away, he’ll be the second local billionaire in nine years to give up on an agreement with the Wilpons.
Multiple sources tell The Post that Cohen is dropping his $2.6 billion bid for an 80 percent stake in the franchise in response to an unacceptable “clarification” on the deal’s terms.
