Mets fans are expressing frustration over Steve Cohen's management regarding star player Pete Alonso's contract, which appears to be heading towards free agency. Longtime fan Joe Benigno criticized Cohen for not re-signing Alonso, citing a shift in attention towards other potential free agents instead. Despite Cohen's financial resources, Alonso was offered a significantly lower contract than expected. Fans fear the loss of homegrown talent, paralleling past disappointments with former team members leaving the organization.
Alonso rejected the team's three-year deal in the $68 million-$70 million range, far below the extension he previously nixed, and now it seems he'll be playing elsewhere in 2025.
‘I blame Cohen. To me, it's on the owner. Cohen is supposed to have a feel for this fan base.’
‘I thought Stevie Cohen had a feel for the fan base... Now, Stevie Cohen is doing the same thing. I am beyond livid.’
