On Wednesday night, the New York Post added some unneeded worry to New York Mets fans regarding Steve Cohen’s ownership future. The Post reported that Mayor Bill de Blasio told MLB commissioner Rob Manfred that he would do everything he can to kill the sale. The Mayor’s spoke person, Bill Neidhardt, came out shortly after the story broke and said no such story is true.
The accurate news: These sources are wrong. That is not what the Mayor told Manfred. https://t.co/tUm7TCYDQ4

Neidhardt did not confirm what de Blasio said to Manfred, but it is a big story that he quickly falsified the story.
