Steve Cohen is by far the richest owner in Major League Baseball and his money is starting to make waves in the industry as small market teams fear his spending power.

In negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Competitive Balance Tax has been a hot button issue as owners have been hesitant to move the threshold too far up, which would allow teams like the Mets to spend even more. Would we have a deal right now if not for Cohen?

Host Ryan Finkelstein discusses this and also the changing perception of the New York Mets around the league, as Cohen slowly transforms this into a marquee franchise.
