I think the DiComo tweet outlines the shakedown. Maybe Cohen offered it unsolicited, to grease the skids.
Break out the bubbly - and the checkbook.
Christmas comes early. Is there some irony that its Halloween weekend so a giant BOOOOO to the Wilponies and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Time to start running this team like a real business so LETS GO METS!!!!
