New owner Steve Cohen wasted no time overhauling the front office of the New York Mets. Just hours after officially completing the purchase, but what does his arrival mean for the Phillies? Cohen fired GM Brodie Van Wagenen and the entire Mets front office. The 64-year-old who spent a record $2.4 billion to purchase the Mets, is the richest owner in professional baseball with a net worth of $14 billion.
The ripples of these movements can already be felt across the league, especially in the National League East. For the Phillies, it paints a grim picture of another perennial competitor for years to come.
