I tell you a tale, a tale of two billionaires.
Sitting in Queens is Steve Cohen, the former hedge fund manager and lifelong Mets fan now living the literal dream of owning the franchise. Spotrac shows a healthy payroll of $250 million, second only to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Not bad for someone in just his second year of ownership.
But if you were to drive down the Grand Central Parkway, across the Triboro Bridge into the Bronx, and then took the correct exit off the Major Deegan Expressway, you’d find a different owner.
