For those who don’t know, the New York Mets are transitioning to a new ownership group. Hedge fund manager Steve Cohen, who is worth $14.6 billion according to Forbes, will become the richest owner in Major League Baseball pending ownership approval. That’s likely to happen before the Owners Meetings in November.
The Mets are also in desperate need of competency at the catcher’s position. They signed former Phillie Wilson Ramos to a two-year, $19 million contract in December 2018.
