Part 2/7:
The Competitive Landscape: Steve Cohen and the Mets
The conversation has also turned towards the competitive dynamics in baseball, particularly with the New York Mets under owner Steve Cohen. Unlike previous ownership, Cohen is not one to bow out on financial negotiations easily. With a willingness to spend and a strategic mindset that recalls his business acumen in art investments, Cohen represents a new era for the Mets. He’s prepared to outbid anyone to secure top talent—a perspective reinforced by the fact that finding young, elite free agents is a rare opportunity in sports.
