No they won't. I am not a Steve Cohen fan and I'll leave it at that.



It's his to lose for sure. Then again, Cohen will not lose

This is Amazin' news. Mets will finally have an owner with the resources and commitment necessary to compete and win.

I'm still rooting for them to eat shit on the deal, accept 100s of millions less than they bargained for initially and there to be clauses in the fine print that ban Jeff Wilpon not only from continuing as a control person but ban his presence from the park.

Alex Rodriguez thinks Mets' sale is 'fixed' in favor of Steve Cohen, per report



Excerpt:


Rodriguez claims that he lost his shot to buy the team on Aug. 28, when the Mets' banker, Steve Greenberg of Allen & Co., asked for a sneak peek at what Rodriguez was offering. That request was three days ahead of the official Aug. 31 deadline that the Mets had in place for bids.



Rodriguez granted the request, but later learned that the Mets were in talks with Cohen for the sale of the team. Cohen's final bid was $2.35 billion. Rodriguez's group reportedly offered $50 million more.



As such, Rodriguez is now "convinced" that the Mets leaked his offer to Cohen so that the hedge fund billionaire could offer enough money for the franchise.

Ya gotta admit. ARod complaining about "cheating" is almost beyond satire


Its pretty awesome. Talk about a guy you like to see lose. I hope Cohen cheated him, as long as the Mets have a NY sized payroll.

Didn't Cohen already have the advantage of seeing the offers as a current part-owner of the Mets anyways?



I'm just so glad it wasn't J-Rod. I don't want drama, I want rich owners and competence.


It may work out, but I don't think competence is the first thing that pops to mind when anybody mentions Steve Cohen.



It ain't going to be so much about winning over the Wilpons as winning over the other owners, who have to give a supermajority of approval to whoever gets in their club.

Reports are that Steve Cohen will be signing the paperwork today. The 29 other MLB owners will then vote to confirm him in November. The expectation right now is that the approval will be granted and Cohen would then immediately take control of the team. I imagine he'll want to make a big impact this offseason. It should be a very hot Hot Stove.

Will Joel Sherman write another article on how upset Jennifer Lopez is and how Alex Rodriguez has found another deep-pocketed partner?

After listening to Rodriguez last night, no matter you think of him from anything else, it is wonderful that we won't have to hear his monotonous, all-knowing, drone of a voice in the capacity of Owner of the Mets.

Life without The Ponz is hard to imagine, I hope to holy horseradish this comes true.

Waiting until November seems almost like added punishment but the weeks fly by.

Great. Now spend lots of money to make the team good and otherwise not comment on anything. Thanks.


Nonsense. I also look forward to Steve commenting on important topics such as "what is the biggest statue to Seaver you think you can erect?" and "how many charities in Queens are you forking free tickets over to, Steve?"

Total price $2.4 billion.

First official act: Toss the Wilpons out of their owner's box and make them sit next to the smoking grease pit of the Shake Shack.

Later

It's a sigh of relief rather than squeals of joy. There's much that needs to be fixed. Money isn't everything; you need baseball smarts, too. I hope Cohen isn't a meddling owner and that he hires the right people and lets them do their jobs. Oh, and keeps the sexual harassment to a minimum.



Brodie probably shouldn't get too attached to the office furniture.
