Steve Cohen really wants to buy the MLB’s New York Mets but that isn’t happening. Cohen, the famous hedge fund manager who paid $1.8 billion in fines for insider trading in 2013, tried late last year to buy an 80% stake of the Mets for $2.6 billion but appears to have failed in his quest. Cohen, the founder of hedge fund Point72 Asset Management, has owned a small share in the team he loves since 2011 and has been in talks to lift his stake since December.
