Steve Cohen has a message for Mets fans — “I gave it my best shot.”
The billionaire hedge fund owner released a statement on Thursday night, with his deal to buy the Amazins dead after discussions with the Wilpons fell apart.
“I’m very disappointed we couldn’t work out a deal,” Cohen wrote. “But as an 8% holder I’m looking forward to a higher bid for the team.”
Cohen’s bid to buy 80 percent of the team in a $2.6 billion deal was beset by questions regarding operational control over a five-year period.
