The sale of the New York Mets to new owner Steve Cohen has closed and is official, Cohen announced Friday.
"This is a significant milestone in the history of this storied franchise," Cohen said in a statement. "I want to thank everybody who helped make this happen. The 2021 season is right around the corner and we've got a lot of work to do, so I'm excited to get started."
Last week, MLB owners approved the purchase of 95% of the Mets by an entity of Cohen's. The sale values the franchise at $2.4 billion to $2.
