Hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen, a lifelong New York Mets‘ fan, has long dreamed of owning the team, and might soon get his wish once and for all. As Joel Sherman of the New York Post notes, it actually isn’t a sure thing that he achieves the goal, but he once again has gained exclusive negotiation rights for the club.
On Friday night, several outlets reported that Cohen won the bidding, leaving the Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez-led group in the dust, not to mention the Harris Blitzer association that also wanted to own the team.
