Steve Cohen not done
Following their run to the NLCS in 2024, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen is ready for more.
“How much fun was that?” Cohen asked reporters via the New York Post. “I don’t know if I ever felt anything, that type of emotion that was almost on a daily basis. When you get that feeling, you want more of that.”
Cohen believes his team’s offense will help them achieve more success in 2025.
“I think it’s a team that is going to produce runs,” Cohen said. “I think our pitching is going to surprise people. The other thing is, we’re flexible. If we have to make changes or improve the team during the year, we saw what we did in 2024 and we’ll do it again.”
