They first were minority partners with the Doubledays and then bought sole control several years back. They financed a large portion of the cost of the new stadium, and have invested in some large contracts. Clearly they love this team and have (with the new SNY Network as another source of revenues) invested in the team.
But, no one can withstand a huge loss such as the Madoff calamity and not have to make significant adjustments. Whether that leads to a sale, or some belt tightening (resulting in a less star-studded team) remains to be seen.
