Yesterday at the end of his Ira Sohn presentation (after telling Steve Ballmer to do the right thing and quit Microsoft), David Einhorn added “Go Mets!” with little grin on his face, like he had a secret…which apparently was that he just bought a minority stake in the team.
The New York Mets have agreed to sell less than 49 percent of the club for approximately $200 million to David Einhorn, president of Greenlight Capital Inc., sources close to the deal tell ESPN’s Karl Ravech. The sale will not include a stake in SNY, the television network owned by the Mets, the sources said.
This kid is probably pretty pleased with the news:
If the Mets were publicly traded, I’d short them in a heartbeat
great story.
NBD. Did Einy get a Vanity Fair write up, huh, huh, huh?
You forgot to sign that “SC”
Looks like he’s had that bad toupee since he was 7.
He’s too cute.
awwww.
-jaded banker whose heart was melted by that pic
settle down, Stevie. you’re going to start a new league.
only a matter of time until the wilponzis are done, and met fans can wake up from the nightmare
Will Mr. Met be replaced by a mascot that looks like the Green Lantern?
The Mets?
Good luck.
Him? That can’t be David Einhorn. I’m *prettier* than this man!
-Ackman
if einhorn thinks 49% of the mets is worth $200mil i got some swamp land in fl for him to look at.

You can still take action on them, they do play 162 games a year. Its called sports betting.
Must be nice……………..
Hi. I’ve missed you. xoxo
like everyone else that thinks baseball is a sport, einhorn is a bitch
So the Wilponzis sold him the coal not the diamond inside. SNY over the team any day. It truly must be about the love of the game. For that….respect

Nice lazy eye, weirdo.
-Becky Quick
yes. einhorn should be more like seaman bodine
The CBAA?
MA Pottery > Mets > Wisconsin
Lets hope his skills as a team owner are better than his coloring skills. C’mon kid, you call this art?
Pedobear approves!
anyone would have better “luck” than the wilpons. ANYONE.
You wish.
you’re right. the wilpons are doing just fine. what was i thinking?
That’s AMAZIN!
You would short them at a $400 million valuation?
You would think
- J. Dolan
Until Einhorn demands that the SNY contracts be arm’s length. Then the equation changes.
I’m getting some hookers, a big pile of coke, and going on the sick-ass bender I’ve always dreamed about. 200 mil oughtta cover it. That Madoff lawyer can suck my balls if he thinks he’s seeing any of this dough.
I’ve missed you, too. Work has been busting my nuts the past few weeks.
Somebody get me a f*cking analyst in my office! NOW! Whatever David over here drew up cannot go to the client / his mom!
When did we hire you?
-DoubleLine HR
The obvious answer would be short the Rangers at $500 million or Astros at $680 million, but both of those include TV. So yeah I’d short the Mets stake bleeding $30 mil a year as the lesser team in a two team city.
Disclosure – This guy is also short the LA Clippers, the Cubs, Manchester City and the Jets
kill yourself already.
The older Einhorn is irresistable. Does he have any sons in the 16+ – 20s-30s range?
