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?

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.
The people online blaming Steve Cohen for not getting Yamamoto are clowns when you consider that the Mets offered him the same amount of $$$ that the Dodgers did.
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.

New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams urged Mets owner Steven Cohen to rename Citi Field over climate change concerns.
Citi Bank currently has the naming rights of the stadium with the Mets. Williams said that Cohen should consider terminating the contract with Citi Banks because of the bank’s support of fossil-fuel companies.

Not excited about signing Correa. As much as we needed another bat, Correa has never hit .300 or had over a 100 RBI’s in a season. And he gets injured a lot. Personally, I would’ve rather have signed JD Martinez.

I could care less about who Verlander’s wife is, I’m just concerned about him and Scherzer’s age going forward.

So nice to have an owner so dedicated to putting the best product on the field.
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.
