Expect to see Steve Cohen lose $200 million with the Mets in 2023

Several teams in major league baseball are losing money. The effect of the pandemic has not helped, but sometimes it is due to the (poor) quality of the product in the field.

This is particularly the case, for example, of the A’s of Oakland.

While some clubs take the decision not to spend a lot to limit the repercussions of financial difficulties, other teams go about it differently.

For example? The Toronto Blue Jays, greatly affected by the long months spent in Dunedin and Buffalo in 2020 and 2021, still chose to invest in the product.

And that’s what brings us to the Mets.

According to estimates, they will lose money in 2023, but that’s due to the club having an owner who isn’t afraid to spend.

In fact, with a payroll of $491 million ($382 million on the field and $109 million in luxury tax), Steve Cohen demonstrates that he is not afraid to dip into his pocket to improve his club.

And according to sources at Jon Heyman, it looks like we can expect financial losses in the order of $200 million for the Mets in 2023.

The hundreds of millions of dollars spent by Cohen this winter were knowingly spent. And since he’s one of the richest men in the United States, it doesn’t seem to shake the pillars of the temple, as they say.

He’s more afraid of the end of the world than of the end of the month, let’s say.

If he chose to put so much money on the table, it’s because he wants to win. It’s his priority (he has often repeated it) and the boots could hardly keep up with the chops.

The guys in the locker room will be under pressure to win, we agree.

Remember also that according to Cohen, if the other owners do not spend as much as him, it is their problem. He believes that many men should look in the mirror.

No, you never get bored with Steve Cohen.
