Hedge fund manager Steve Cohen’s $2.6 billion deal to buy the Mets is on life support, and fans of the ball club are not happy.
On Tuesday it was revealed Cohen grew deeply unhappy with the current ownership group headed by the Wilpons after it changed terms of the deal late in negotiations, sources told The Post’s Thornton McEnery.
While the deal is not dead, it is in jeopardy.
The Mets said they could not comment on the status of the deal due to “a mutual non-disclosure agreement”.
Cohen, a Mets minority owner since 2012 whose net worth is an estimated $13 billion, was slated to purchase an 80 percent stake in the team, which had Mets fans jumping for joy just two months ago when the negotiations were first reported.
