Christmas came early for New York Mets fans when news broke that billionaire Steven Cohen was making a play to become the majority owner of the team. The 63-year-old hedge fund manager reportedly has a net worth of $13.6 billion. This transition from the notoriously stingy Wilpon family represents the first hope that the Mets could become real players in future free agent markets.
While the details and timeline of the move are still unclear, one thing is certain: Mets fans are thrilled with the potential for change!
