MLB owners approved the sale of the Mets to billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Cohen on Friday, according to The New York Post's Joel Sherman.
The Post reports that Cohen received the necessary 75% of the vote needed to complete the sale and become the club's majority owner. The only step left in the transaction is approval from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has final say because Citi Field sits on city property.
On Sept. 14, Cohen and the Sterling Partners—the Wilpon and Katz families—signed an agreement for him to purchase the Mets.
