Well, so much for the Mets having a great decade. The universe returned to normalcy, and of course things went off the rails for the Mets.
Many reports say billionaire Steve Cohen is pulling out of the deal to buy the Mets.
Let me say this makes me so happy. I am so mad at the Mets for not credentialing Media Goon to Fan Fest that I have been using all my magic powers to make this happen. So sorry Mets Incorporated, sucks to be you.
Speaking of MG, he won’t get credit for this…but he had the story.

Now he didn’t say what it was because he couldn’t source it, and you can’t just throw a bomb like that no matter how deep your mom’s basement is….but he had the story. And lest you think he’s ret-conning this, look at his twitter timeline. He tweeted that like 6 times, which he normally doesn’t do.
So what does it mean? I dunno. Puxsatawney Phil saw his shadow and the Mets won’t sign any big players for 6 years?
This is the second straight hedge fund rich guy that wanted to buy the Mets and then pulled out. That makes me think the financials aren’t too good once people good at money start looking.
Meanwhile, given that MG had the story, pay attention to this:
@metspolice From what I heard the current owners were being their typical selves and Cohen got pissed and walked away from the deal.

Very interesting.
This next one would have been interesting and weird….
Steve Cohen, according to a source, had been planning an Opening Day gala that would announce his majority ownership in the Mets. Those invitations to guests haven’t been sent, and now it appears they likely won’t be.

I thrive on chaos so I say good. Enjoy the misery. And credential the die-hards next time. The guy wasn’t trying to beat you for twenty bucks Jeff.
