Steve Cohen, owner of the New York Mets, envisions reducing payroll below the so-called 'Cohen Tax' threshold, believing that team president David Stearns will cultivate a robust farm system. However, there are doubts about the feasibility of this vision, as Cohen's competitive nature and strong desire for championships could conflict with his plans for cost-cutting. Observers are skeptical that Cohen will restrain his financial commitments while pursuing team success.
Steve Cohen has visions of dropping below what even he wryly called on Tuesday the "Cohen Tax" threshold. I bet he believes the day is coming in the next few years when David Stearns has overseen a farm system that annually delivers difference makers and depth.
I think he is sincere about his vision, this desire, this cost-cutting expectation. I just do not think it will happen, at least not any time soon.
Because Steve Cohen will get in the way of Steve Cohen. As one so competitive and aspirational, is he really going to let money he has in abundance slow his quest for championships (plural)?
