Hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen was planning an Opening Day gala that would announce his majority ownership of the Mets, according to The Post’s Mike Puma.
But invitations were never sent out, and now may never be, after Cohen’s $2.6 billion deal to purchase the Mets went south, as The Post revealed on Tuesday.
Cohen, a 63-year-old Mets minority owner since 2012 who’s worth an estimated $13 billion, was slated to take on an 80 percent stake in the franchise, but talks with the Wilpons and Katz ownership group are now in jeopardy after the Wilpons changed the terms of the deal late in the process, as first reported by The Post.
