""I'm annoyed," Cohen said after arriving at Clover Park. "I'm absolutely annoyed. Every year that goes by, I get frustrated. I'm really committed to this team, and I know how much the fans care. I know we're celebrating the 40th anniversary of 1986, and that's just too long.""
""When I say I get annoyed, it's more about wanting to accomplish my goals," he said. "I'm also a very patient guy, and so I guess I have to combine the two, and know that it's not easy to win . . . [The Dodgers], they're formidable, right? They have the ability to spend. So do I, by the way.""
Steve Cohen expressed annoyance after the Mets' historic collapse in 2025 and acknowledged that the five-year World Series timeline expired. He described growing frustration as each season passes and emphasized commitment to the team and its fans, noting the long gap since 1986. Cohen authorized a complete overhaul and stated confidence in general manager David Stearns' vision for a reconstructed roster. He described himself as a more seasoned owner who will not guarantee a title but will do whatever possible to compete annually. The Mets' projected 2026 payroll is $364 million, second only to the Dodgers' projected $394 million.
