Steve Cohen is about to give the Mets a $20 million cash infusion. He is also in the running to buy the Dodgers:

“If Cohen were to buy the Dodgers, he would have to sell his stake in the Mets,” Shaikin says. “However, by helping the Mets, Cohen could be in a favorable position to buy the Mets outright if the team were put up for sale and the Dodgers were sold to another party.”

In addition, the Mets have the money to pay Johan Santana for not playing.
