Or something like that.
Steve Cohen has officially fumbled the bag, and it’s honestly fun to watch. He splurged almost a billion dollars on Juan Soto—a player who, let's be real, is probably going to be a faded star in just a few years. It’s like Cohen blew all his money on a sports car only to realize he can’t afford the insurance. Now, with his pockets feeling lighter, he’s suddenly looking for discounts and cutting corners. Genius, right?
Let’s talk about Pete Alonso—a guy who gave his all to the Mets. Alonso bled blue and orange, became a fan favorite, and was the heart of the team. He brought energy, power, and an undeniable love for the game. And what does Cohen do? He lowballs him with a last-minute, half-hearted offer. Pete deserved better. A lot better.
Cohen’s obsession with being the owner who bagged the biggest name this offseason has backfired spectacularly. Sure, Soto might look great on paper, but you don’t win championships by overpaying for one player while neglecting the rest of the team. Mets fans should be wondering what could’ve been if Cohen had valued loyalty and team chemistry as much as he valued flashy headlines.
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Alonso rejected the Mets' weak three-year, $68-$70 million offer. Can you blame him? That deal screams, "We don’t really want you, but we have to make it look like we tried." It’s a slap in the face to a player who gave everything to the franchise. Alonso deserves a team that appreciates him, and now the Toronto Blue Jays are wisely stepping up as frontrunners to sign him.
So, to hell with Steve Cohen and his misguided priorities. He wanted to be the big-shot owner who won the offseason, but in the process, he’s losing the soul of the team. Pete Alonso deserved loyalty and respect, not a cheap last-minute offer. Mets fans deserved better too. What a colossal joke.
