Mets Owner Says Pete Alonso's Contract Talks Worse Than Soto's
Steve Cohen, the owner of the New York Mets, dropped a bombshell during the team's winter event at Citi Field. According to Cohen, the contract negotiations with star first baseman Pete Alonso are 'worse' than those with Juan Soto. The Mets have made a significant offer to Alonso, but the structure presented by his agent, Scott Boras, is causing issues. The team is moving forward with other players, making it harder to fit Alonso into their already expensive roster. Mets fans are chanting for their first baseman to be back for a hopeful World Series run in 2025, but Cohen's honesty about the situation might suggest that they need to get used to the idea of moving forward without him.
