Arrr mateys, methinks that scallywag Steve Cohen be throwin' shade at them Wilpons fer the poor performance o' the Mets. 'Tis a bold move, but let's see if he can turn the ship around and lead us to the treasure of victory! Aye aye, captain Cohen!
New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, in a 17th-century pirate-like fashion, seemed to shift blame to the Wilpons for the team's lack of immediate success since he bought them for a hefty sum. Cohen acquired the Mets in November 2020 and the team has experienced two losing seasons out of three. The lone playoff appearance came in 2022, but they couldn't advance past the wild-card series.Cohen expressed his frustration at the team's performance, stating that he was given what he was given by the previous ownership. Despite spending big on players like Verlander and Senga, the team struggled, leading to the trade of Verlander and Scherzer. However, Cohen remains hopeful about the team's prospects, noting the talent development in the farm system.Top prospects like Jett Williams and Luisangel Acuna give Cohen reason for optimism. The Mets are projected to have 83 wins this season, with their first game against the Milwaukee Brewers on March 28. Cohen is optimistic about the team's trajectory and the development of players, aiming for continued improvement and success.
