Mets Owner Steve Cohen 'Annoyed' by Big-Ticket Dodgers Signing
"I actually went to bed annoyed. 'Oh, we didn't get him,'"
""The agent for Bo [Bichette] had called us right after and discussions started," he said "You never know how they're gonna go. They moved really quickly.""
""Frankly, once it was all done, and we got Bo to come to the Mets, (I) actually feel Bo might be a better fit for the team,""
""Every team should be doing it. ... S- is f-ing great for the game. So I think every team has the ability to do it, so I hope all 30 teams can learn from that.""
Steve Cohen expressed annoyance after the Los Angeles Dodgers signed outfielder Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million deal. The Mets also lost closer Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers, a move described as perplexing. The Mets quickly entered discussions with Bo Bichette's agent and completed a signing that could better fit the team's needs. The Dodgers' aggressive spending has drawn criticism and renewed debate over MLB's lack of a salary cap. Prominent players such as Manny Machado and Bryce Harper publicly praised the Dodgers' willingness to spend and encouraged other teams to follow suit.
