OT: MLB Thread XLIII

[JimmyG89]

Is this really happening? New ownership for the Mets is a dream come true, and you know they'll spend that money if they really are dead set on winning one before they leave.

Could be a blessing and a curse. Hopefully BVW can do something with this extra cash.

EDIT: Would not be surprised they go over the luxury tax threshold this season.

This is Super Christmas and Mega Hanukkah combining like Voltron

The Mets will be a major market team!! I can’t believe it

 

[BMOK33]

Sounds like this guy like many very rich folks has skeletons in his closet. I’m not sure Rob Manfred though is really one who will care. Sports ownership is very much an old boys club. So long as he has no sexual assaults or racial bigotry in his past this will probably get approved

Francesca just said Cohen could be the richest owner in baseball.

Second richest in every American sports. The Mets will be an absolute power house once Steve Cohen is officially the CEO.

Someone needs to post Mike Puma’s tweet. Me? I’ll be busy for a little while.

Didn't Cohen get fined for inside trading few years ago?

He's a ghoul but all owners are ghouls. The least they could do is invest in the roster lmfao

 

[Irishguy42]

This is going to be the longest 5 years for every Mets fan as they countdown until the Wilpons are (presumably) gone.

yup largest on record. 1.8 B

BD Stevie ain’t gonna attach assets for no Lowrie dump

They can enjoy 4th place again.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Wheeler contract is a bad one, won’t be the worst one given out this winter.

 

[JimmyG89]

Fills the defensive CF upgrade they were looking for. Apparently it is for two prospects. No clue who they are just yet.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Have the Yanks made any moves yet?

 

[LeetchisGod]

Have the Yanks made any moves yet?

Nope, I'm not really expecting much either.

Cashman flew out to meet with Cole, and I believe they met with Strausberg as well. They're in for longer negotiations with big market free agents.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

They met with Strasburg yesterday.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Sign Cole AND Strasburg.

Time for The Evil Empire to return.

According to The Post: minor league pitcher Blake Taylor and outfielder Kenedy Corona. (Neither considered an elite prospect.)
