Steve Cohen, the man that is about to become the new owner of the New York Mets if the rest of the MLB owners give their blessing, already announced his first big move with the future in mind.
Cohen said, via a statement – published by the New York Post -, that if he is indeed given the green light to acquire the New York Mets from the Wilpons, his first move will be to appoint old friend Sandy Alderson as the team president.
“If I am fortunate enough to be approved by Major League Baseball as the next owner of this iconic franchise, Sandy Alderson will become president of the New York Mets and will oversee all Mets baseball and business operations,” Cohen said in the statement.
