Money doesn’t fix everything, huh? Steve Cohen is challenging that conventional wisdom this offseason.
Despite coming off one of the most successful regular seasons in six decades of New York Mets baseball, there was plenty of anxiety around the club just a couple months ago. The Mets were upset on their home turf by the San Diego Padres in the NL Wild Card Series. Nearly half of the players on their playoff roster were set to become free agents. Merely keeping pace with the Braves and Phillies in their own division seemed like a tall task.
It’s been well-documented that Cohen, a longtime hedge fund manager, is the wealthiest owner in Major League Baseball.
