The Mets may have just won the offseason, at least according to their disgruntled fanbase.
Wednesday’s news that the Wilpon family is in negotiations to sell 80 percent of the Mets to hedge-fund billionaire Steve Cohen set off fans’ joy on social media.
While negotiations are ongoing, and CEO Fred Wilpon and COO Jeff Wilpon will remain in their respective roles for the next five years, according to Bloomberg News, fans didn’t hold back.
The end of the five-year term reportedly would allow Cohen — a lifelong Mets fan who has a net worth of $9.
