The Mets and Dodgers rank first and second in player spending and are two of only three teams, along with the crosstown rival Yankees, above the fourth-tier luxury-tax threshold.
Cohen is an exceedingly bright man - there's no other way to honestly amass an estimated $20 billion fortune! - who to his credit wants very badly to win. So it's frankly shocking his team is in the position it's in, even if it's only for a year, which it very likely is. At least for 2024, they look like a very average team with a very bloated payroll, which would be a record if not for the $350M he spent last year.
