Steve Cohen Approval Thread

[kcmets]

OE: I mean scuttled in favor of Rodriguez et al...

[kcmets]

Has anyone seen a time when voting results will be announced? I know things

are slow, but today is kinda like a mega-holiday-in-the-making for Mets fans!?!

[Benjamin Grimm]

If I'm Rob Manfred, here's what I say to deBlasio: "If you fuck this up, we'll just put the Mets in New Jersey. How would you like to have that as part of your legacy?"



It doesn't have to be entirely a bluff: MetLife Stadium could make for a quirky home field for a couple of years:

I wonder if Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City is still there?

Indoor baseball at the UBS arena in Belmont!

I'm not freaked out by DiBlasio. The city does have rights and being cavalier this stuff is the kinda thing that can screw cities over.

[Centerfield]

12 minutes in.



Who's nervous? Not me.

I think it's a total non-issue, but I don't count.

[Edgy MD]

Approved by the owners and the mayor has tweeted that the city has no objection.

Bill deBlasio wrote: The New York City Law Department has completed its legal review of the proposed sale of the Mets. New York City has no objections and the Mets can now proceed with the transaction. #LGM

[kcmets]

I thought there would be more bally hoo...

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Done deal. Owners approve as does hizzoner

I repeat

[G-Fafif]

I'm imagining the set of cards Zvon would be making for this occasion.

[ashie62]

Done deal



Bring those inside trading skills to the club!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think the Typewriter Company should do a set of cards based on champagne for this.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

at least the champagne of beers

[MFS62]

Big sigh of relief.

Happy that DiBlasio didn't throw a monkey wrench into the deal. (see the link in the first paragraph)

It might not be the most important news story of 2020, but at least we can forget about the other ones for a while.

I hope this works. I'm not nearly as pro-Cohen as the room.



HEWJ Republican donor in 2016, but mostly laid low this cycle. Inside trader. Let others take the fall for him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't think we like Cohen. We just like his money.

I nominate Grimm himself for this joyous task. Or Dinosaur Jesus. They have tremendous photoshopping skills.

[MFS62]

Screw the photoshopped pictures.

Just give us the champagne.

Regular or Giant-sized?

This.

[Edgy MD]

Ew.

[Centerfield]

One down.



Trump is next.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I have it on good authority that the reason deBlasio didn't block the deal is because Manfred said to him, "If you fuck this up, we'll just put the Mets in New Jersey. How would you like to have that as part of your legacy?"

You already posted (something like) that on page 3 of this thread.

I can believe someone gave him that message, although he says he won't run for Mayor again.

Zvon would so love this. 😢
