After months and months of New York Mets fans begging for our misery to end, it has finally happened. Steve Cohen is now the owner of the franchise and is officially the richest owner in the sport. Major League Baseball’s owner approved the deal around 1:45 p.m. on Friday, and shortly after, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the city approves as well.
The New York City Law Department has completed its legal review of the proposed sale of the @Mets. New York City has no objections and the Mets can now proceed with the transaction.
