Are The New York Mets Now The New Kings Of New York?

It is more than fair to say that The New York Mets have officially taken over the back pages over their bitter crosstown rival in the New York Yankees.  You can thanks $21 billion owner Steve Cohen and let's face it Met fans deserve it.  After dealing with the Wilpon family for many years, Cohen is an absolute breathe of fresh air.  The Mets won't be done with just Soto either.  Several other key names are available and Cohen will throw them all the most money.  Below is my quick take on this as seen in The Times Union:

The days of the New York Yankees owing the baseball landscape in the Big Apple is over, because Mets owner Steve Cohen just made that perfectly clear. The Mets are no longer the little brother to the Yankees they proved that by taking Juan Soto away from the Pinstripes after just one season and one trip to the World Series. Cohen made a statement to New York that if he wants a player badly enough he will land him, and that way doing business used to always belong to the Yankees. That's no longer the case, that now belongs the New York Mets.

It is so great to finally see a significant change in the New York baseball landscape as the Yankees for decades were always the team that got every great player.  I am so eager to see how the rest of the winter meetings and this MLB offseason go and who else the Mets will bring in for their 2025 roster.
