According to David Faber of CNBC, hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen has won the bidding war to purchase the New York Mets.
Steve Cohen has entered exclusive negotiations to buy the NY Mets and is expected to reach a deal to purchase the team within days, according to people familiar with the process. Other bidders, including the group led by Alex Rodriguez, are no longer in pursuit of the club.
