Wall Street mogul (and current Mets minority investor) Steve Cohen is reportedly close to an agreement to purchase an 80% stake in the Mets. The deal values the club at $2.6b. Fred and Jeff Wilpon will remain in their current roles for five years, which presumably means they will continue to control the club during that time.
