That’s the feeling that has been instilled in New York Mets fans near and far with the news that billionaire Steven A. Cohen and the Wilpon family are working toward an agreement that will make Cohen the majority owner, according to Bloomberg. The plan calls for team CEO Fred Wilpon and his son, team COO Jeff Wilpon, to remain in their respective roles for the next five years, according to a statement released by the Mets.
After a decade of being beaten down while watching the cross-town rival Yankees spend year after year, Mets fans can hope that soon they will be matching their rivals from the Bronx dollar for dollar.
