Good morning Richard. As a lifelong Mets fan since the early 80’s I understand the frustration. I think Cohen looked at the % chance of making the playoffs vs. not, and determined the small % wasn’t worth the haul of prospects the team could acquire by going all in on a sale, which has instantly raised the overall value of its farm system by leaps and bounds. 4 of the players acquired are now in the teams top 10 and some of the others, the teenagers while true lottery tickets, are extremely talented. The talent level has been raised and the future is much brighter. This off-season is murky, only because of the luxury tax and the benefit of resetting it by being under the 234 # next season, which is what the LA Dodgers did this very season. The same team that Cohen has mentioned as his #1 comp. Will the man with the most money not go after ohtani or any of the other top SPs? Who knows? But I do believe this man is here to build a winner, and for that Mets fans can take a breath and trust the course.

Steve Cohen, despite the working class tweets and ball caps, has shown himself to be nothing more than a heartless hedge fund trader who happens to be a Mets fan. He clearly is more adept at picking stocks than ballplayers.
Eppler and Showalter tried to sell this dismantling as good for the future. The GM said that years of bad baseball while you rebuild the organization was not what they anticipate. That is wishful thinking. Even if most of these prospects pan out, it will still be 2026 before they blossom.
Next year? Forget about it. They have two pitchers in the starting rotation who might be decent, but even that's not a sure thing.
With a core of good position players, most of whom were having off years, some pitching help, especially in the pen, could make them viable in '24. But by dumping two HOFamers and eating the money, they condemn the team to the second division. Alonso must be seriously considering asking out before free agency hits after next year.
In some ways, Cohen resembles Leon Hess. Wealthy, successful and willing to spend money but clueless in hiring people to steer the ship. How many shortstops do the Mets now have in their farm system?
Get used to losses like last night's balk off. For this year, it could be justified. But for the next two years, you are looking at .500 or less, unless they find gems amongst the low end free agent hurlers.
All the optimism about a World Series in 3-5 years is vanquished.
Last night Nimmo was scratched because of a tight quad. Add to that a tight throat, constricted from saying what he really thinks about what the owner has wrought.
