The sale of the New York Mets has been something of a carousel, and it appears Steve Cohen has bought another ticket for the ride.
According to Thornton McEnery of the New York Post, the hedge-fund billionaire reportedly "will bid on the Mets this week, months after having his $2.6 billion deal for the team fell apart dramatically at the 11th hour back in February. Cohen's re-emergence, while not totally shocking, will cause upheaval in the first-round bidding process set to end on Thursday."
Cohen's potential re-emergence means he will likely be bidding against several prospective ownership groups:
- Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils managing partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer.
