The Mets owner isn't shy about opening his checkbook.
The oft-used phrase "go big or go home,” has perhaps never applied more to a deep-pocketed team like the New York Mets, especially since MLB is the only one of the four major American professional sports leagues without a salary cap.
In what could be one of the most pivotal signings in Mets’ franchise history, owner Steve Cohen flexed his muscles, opened his wallet and just like that, the deal was done for the four-time All Star. As a well-known big spender, Cohen previously discussed his willingness to splurge on high-profile stars for the Mets in his ongoing hunt for a World Series title.When asked whether he saw his lavish spending as philanthropic, Cohen said “I do. That’s why I bought the team. That’s exactly why I bought the team. I said in my original press conference, ‘If I can make millions of people happy, how cool is that?’ And so I actually view it as a civic responsibility.
