Steve Cohen

The saying goes something like 'you can take the New Yorker out of New York but you can't the New York out of...' Well, you get the idea. Now let's apply that same philosophy to the "Charlie Brown" of major sports franchises, the New York Mets. Can anyone really save the Mets from themselves? David Stearns, a Mets fan from Manhattan, will be next up to have that unenviable task.

Now-former New York Mets' ace Max Scherzer punished Mets' fans one final time on his way out the door, and set the team back years in the process.

When right-handed relief pitcher, David Robertson signed a one-year $10 million contract at Citi Field back in December, the last that crossed his mind was that his new team, coming off 101-wins and a playoff appearance in 2022, would be out of the post-season tournament picture by August 1st. Well David, welcome to the New York Mets.

It all started out so promisingly. The 2022 New York Mets jumped ahead to a 10.5 game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the National League East on June 1st. However, by the beginning of October of last season, that lead was gone and the rest is history. Manager Buck Showalter, once again, got his team close to a championship but lost in the process.

'Ya Gotta Believe' was a slogan that New York Mets fans clung onto 50 years ago this summer. Famous Mets' reliever Tug McGraw, father of country music star Tim McGraw, coined the phrase during the Amazin's improbable run to the World Series in 1973.

Mets owner Steve Cohen is not going to fire Buck Showalter or any of his front office before the season is out, and I understand where he is coming from.

Owner of the New York Mets, Steve Cohen is worth about $13.2 billion, depending on what day it is. Say what you want about the accumulation of that wealth, but there is no doubt Cohen is a shrewd businessman and Mets fans should expect nothing less when it comes to running his team.

It is no secret that the New York Mets are struggling. After a little more than into the season, owner Steve Cohen is watching his $358 million team sit 6 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East.

The New York Mets are struggling over their last few games. They have dropped four straight games for the first time under manager Buck Showalter.

The New York Mets have been keeping pace with the red-hot Atlanta Braves at the top of the National League East to start the season. However, Mets owner Steve Cohen is investing $144 million MORE in payroll than Atlanta in 2023. One would assume that in year three, the primary stakeholder has higher expectations this season than a wild-card-round loss at Citi Field.

Babe Ruth last played for the New York Yankees almost ninety years ago. Yet, when you mention the name Shohei Ohtani to a New York baseball fan, Ruth's name comes up more often than not. There is a pretty good reason.

So much has to go right for a major league team to play 162 games, win all of their playoff series and then four games in the World Series, against the other league's best team. Even more would have to go right for the Amazin' Mets. [bran
