The best thing about being a Mets fan these days is dreaming big.
With one stroke of Steve Cohen’s pen upon his purchase of the team, absolutely anything became possible. is due for the biggest free agency ever at year’s end
There were hints five years ago that Ohtani didn’t want to go to New York, and one baseball executive said Ohtani told him as much flat out — though obviously with benefit of traveling throughout the bigs for half a decade, tastes can change, which is what his handlers say. And few see anything like that deterring Cohen, who also seems only slightly affected by the famous fourth-tier, 90 percent “Steve Cohen tax” .
Now is a good time to start — though as is Showalter’s way, the Mets say they are uber-focused on the present and generally undistracted by the free-agent game. And even Cohen, reached via text, responded to an Ohtani inquiry this way: “Hard to think about next year. I’m focused on this season.” Speaking of which, that equity thing is doing fabulously, and even in a spectacularly terrible market in 2022,, which makes the Mets’ record estimated $382 million 2023 payroll and record $109M tax bill seem almost like pocket change. More to the point, Forbes’ old $17 billion estimate of Cohen’s net worth has to be way short following his boffo year on the floor.
