Newsday:
- David Lennon: Can Mets owner Steve Cohen buy a World Series? "One undeniable fact about money. You’d rather have more than less, and the Mets lead the majors in the wealthy owner category -- along with the willingness to spend it. Cohen is the gold standard when it comes to shelling out cash in pursuit of a title. Now the Mets have to show that the have staying power at the top, too."
