Comments on: Report: Steve Cohen buy-in to the Mets is off http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/05/11/report-steve-cohen-buy-in-to-the-mets-is-off/ Baseball. Baseball. And then a bit more baseball.

I don’t want that added to the Madoff mess, and I suspect that Selig doesn’t either.

Yes it did. We need a no bullbleep owner who is business savvy and doesn’t meddle in baseball operations (and neither does his son). Set the payroll, then spend money off the field in the right places. Besides, he’d shake things up a little.
I can dream, can’t I?

Within the text lies the sentence, “A $200 million investment by Cohen for a 49% stake would have given the team a value of $840 million.”

I could be wrong too, but basically I think they’re just saying the deal is off, and the deal would have increased the value of the Mets. This is Forbes, which valued the Mets this year at $747 Million, and only seems to care about baseball if they’re talking about how much teams are worth.
