Steven Cohen had a one-track mind for owning the Mets: Reggie Jackson

He’s only had eyes for the Mets.

As Steve Cohen’s negotiations have continued with the Sterling partners that would leave him as the majority owner of the Mets, a famous friend of the billionaire hedge-fund investor says the organization will be getting the right man to lead it into the next decade.

Reggie Jackson told The Post on Friday he’s spoken with Cohen on several occasions over the last 10-15 years about forming an ownership group with him to purchase a major league team. Each time, the answer was a basic variation of Cohen saying the only team he wanted to own was the Mets.
