New York Mets owner Steve Cohen didn’t hold back in his recent interview during the inaugural Amazin’ Day at Citi Field this past weekend. Cohen and David Stearns made, they didn’t completely close the door on a Pete Alonso reunion, even with the rather harsh comments.

To hear New York Mets owner Steve Cohen tell it, he is not close to re-signing free agent first baseman Pete Alonso for one reason. “And a lot of it is, I don’t like the structures that he presented to us. I think it’s highly asymmetric against us, and I feel strongly about this,” Cohen told fans (and reporters) at Amazin Day on Saturday.

So, beyond revealing an exhaustion from negotiating with Alonso’s camp, Cohen’s comments confirmed a couple of other matters. One, in a world without Alonso returning to Flushing, the Mets may add more pieces. Two, the Mets are at least acting like they care about how much they spend.
