Mets: Why Steve Cohen’s bid to become the new owner still has its bumps

Billionaire hedge fund titan Steve Cohen lifted all of us New York Mets fans’ spirits sky high a few weeks ago when it was announced that he and the Wilpon family were in serious negotiations to transfer the controlling rights and a majority stake of the baseball team within the next five years.

Needless to say, this news is nothing short of a Christmas miracle for us Mets fans, who have had to endure decades of either costly acquisitions that went nowhere or who have seen our ball club spend frugally to the point that the team could never reach its truest potential.
