Steve Cohen Says He Doesn’t Expect Long-Term Deal with Pete Alonso Before Season Ends

17 Mar

An upcoming season that already doesn’t look promising gets even worse news. And it’s almost like Cohen has no idea how much Pete means to Met fans. Plus with all the talk of the Mets pursuing Juan Soto after 2024, what’s their backup plan for when Pete leaves? In other words, does no one in the organization understand how hard it is to replace a guaranteed 40 HRs and 100 RBIs a year?

Mets Need To Wear Jersey Patch to Honor Bud Harrelson This Year

26 Feb

Bud Harrelson

A few days ago the Boston Red Sox announced that they’d be wearing a patch this season to honor Tim Wakefield, the longtime Sox knuckleballer who passed away this offseason. Yet, the Mets haven’t said a word about honoring former player, coach and manager Bud Harrelson, who passed away last month. Is something amiss here? Granted, Harrelson wasn’t as beloved a Met as say a Gary Carter or Tom Seaver. But he did spend 13 years in NY, was a 2x champ (as player and coach) and was a 2x All-Star who spent a majority of his professional career with the club in a variety of capacities. Owner, Steve Cohen came to the Mets stating that he wants to embrace the team’s past and he’s done a pretty good job with that so far. Now he needs to do the right thing and honor Harrelson.

Mets Make $360M Offer To Star Japanese Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Unless its about the money, Yamamoto should want to be a Met. Kodai Senga is already here, had a great rookie season and loves NY. He’d immediately become the ace of the pitching staff and the Asian fanbase in NY would gravitate towards him just like Jeremy Lin when he was a Knick. In other words, as long as he stayed healthy and did well, his star would rise even more.

Mets Designate Robinson Cano for Assignment

2 May

While I get that Robinson Cano is far from a sympathetic figure what with all the money he’s making and of course the PED suspension which took him away from the team for an entire year. But if we’re being fair 41 ABs with sparse playing time does not equal a fair assessment on whether or not a player has anything left. And damn, while we all know that Steve Cohen is mage-rich, to just eat $40M like that is kind of insane.
