Summary

The Wilpons are selling and we're going from the poorhouse to the penthouse! Steve Cohen is our savior and is set to become the wealthiest owner in baseball. The man whose life is loosely based on Showtime's 'Billions' is not only the richest, but is apparently also the most ruthless. And guess what? We Love It. The guys declare the Fire Wilpon movement a success, we talk Tiki Bombs and recognize the man in the shadows (Saul Katz) for his role in this ownership coup. KFC is riding high making World Series Championship guarantees, Clem unveils the Cohen facts that every Mets fan will want to know and we go "wishlist" shopping with the 2025 free agent class.

Wake us up in 5-years because, make no mistakes about it, the New York Mets will be the new evil empire in New York. Ya Have to Believe!!!
