Steve Cohen is learning the hard way that money doesn’t magically solve your problems in baseball like it can for a hedge fund. Giving close to a billion dollars combined to Lindor, Nimmo, Marte, Verlander, Scherzer, and Diaz has set the organization back 5-10 years.
This Mets team is unwatchable, embarrassing and full of jokes. forget Juan Soto coming here, develop the farm system, get some solid pitching and get Alex Cora as a manager, please
I think the thing to do is to blow it up. Try to stock up as many young talent as possible by trading away whatever value the team has. Use the Baltimore Orioles template. The fans and ownership need to be patient for about 3-4 years. That will be HARD.
I have given the Mets more years/chances than I gave my ex wife. We were together for 15 years when it ended. While the Mets and I have been together for 59 yrs. The end result is the same. I gave everything, and got very little in return. I was mislead and became angry and bitterly disappointed at being lied to. I did what was expected of me, year, after year, after, after year, before I finally threw in the towel. Attention NY Mets, I want a divorce. And you don’t even get half my shit. You’ve already wasted thousands of my dollars over the years, as well as a large portion of my youth. Sorry, but we can’t go on like this 😢😂
@@oscargonza2748 But my friends and relatives who are Yankees fans, are Always complaining about them. They’ll talk them up when they’re trashing the Mets. Otherwise no matter what the Yankees do, their fans are always griping about this or that. It seems like their fanbase is never happy. I’m already unhappy. So no thanks, I believe I’ll pass.
@@ThePhenomm That’s the spirit. A nice summer in good health surrounded by family and friends. Who needs SNY? You’ll just get aggravated watching anything Mets. It will prove bad for your health.
It's kind of stupid to keep beating a dead horse, don't you think? Except for a handful of Soto fanatics, most Met fans knew Soto would come to the Mets. If Soto were to come to the Mets with the way they are playing, Soto himself would tank because he would have no protection in the lineup, with middle of the lineup Met bats hitting .200 to .230, Soto's BA would likely take a 30-point dip.
I thought waking up after a Yankees win is great but seeing Sal in misery about the Mets is just as good. Yes, please sell it all and then try to bring Soto there. Soto will look at the team and say well, this team is rebuilding and will not be able to compete for 3-4 years. Yeah, he wants to go there. 🤣
I should get a few friends and go to a a Met game and do the wave in empty stands like in Major League. Maybe it will go viral. Mendoza should have thought twice. Ask Willy Randolph and Buck.
IMO they don’t need Juan Soto or any other highly priced superstar right now. They need to take a look at how the Orioles and the Braves (even though they’re having a few problems right now) did it. Fully commit to player development and a 3 year rebuild.
As good as Soto is he’s just one person and won’t make any difference if surrounded by a team of mediocre players. Just a waste of money and his prime years. Instead of spending $50M per year on one player get 2-3 above players instead.
The team added a bunch of journeyman players to short term deals, making zero significant signing except for JD Martinez because no one wanted him. This club was preparing for a throwaway year and everything was telegraphed in advance. But everyone is so surprised they stink. This core was good for half a season and will never regain that again. Get ready for the fire sale.
If the money is close I can see him taking less to play where he wants. But the Mets might offer Soto a billion dollars and I could see him take it to go lose for the rest of his career.
You can change, the players, the managers, the coaches, the GM, the front office and the owner, but this team NEVER has success and NEVER had long term success. They are good for 1 year or 2 then bad for 12. God for bid they be like the Cardinals, Yankees, or Dodgers who are winning teams every season. Even though they dont win the WS every year, but you know those teams will be in the playoffs or at worst be a contender.
I am a second generation Mets fan There are 2 more generations after me Back in the late 70's and Early 80's the Mets were bad,this 2024 Team maybe worse! My late Father who started rooting for the Mets in 1962 had a quote back then that unfortunately applies today "THE EPITAMY OF HOPELESSNESS"
Idk why everyone is so shocked by this season. We knew we wouldn’t be competitive till 25 post trade deadline last year. Our only decent guy is injured. Everyone wanted our gm who came form a small market and that’s what he’s doing
Steve Cohen put us in this mess. Throwing ridiculous money at players past their prime put this team in a bad spot. He almost threw a boatload of money and Correa which thank god that fell through. The guy is clueless on how to run a team, now you DFA a guy who has an ill son because he threw a glove in the stands? What a joke. This might be worse than the Wilpon era
Lindor calling for a team meeting while batting around .200 might seem hypocritical, much like Yankees fans defending Mendoza despite his lack of Major League playing experience. It's unreasonable for Lindor to accept guidance from a manager who's akin to a swimming coach who has never been in the water. Hi Mendoza, change the culture
the Mets are like Disney world rolled into one, you've got Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland not so much Frontierland Hell the Marlins are playing better than them and at least we're winning and our pitching is a hell of a lot better lately and we're only 2 out of the win column and 5 out of the loss column of taking over 4th place
Can’t blame Mendoza. This isn’t his mess. This was here before and until he gets a reset no way I’m blaming him for this bunch of soft quitters after 7 weeks
Lindor and Pete both are considered core players and 2 of the 3 leaders. So my thinking it's one or both of them are thorns on the Mets side and if I had to choose one to stay, it would be Pete, any day and all day long. But I am not a Lindor fan and I am all about keeping good homegrowns here, because once Pete moves out of his mental meltdown for vomiting money off his potential contract he will be the old Pete after that is over and done with, and especially if the Mets are brave enough to cut Lindor loose. Because I see tension between these two. So call me team Pete if you want, but Lindor is on the down swing of his career and he has always been about the money.
Let's be realistic. The Mets cannot get rid of everybody. If you think they can, you can take a look at the records of expansion teams. It CAN get worse. They need to ID the players who are the least bad. Those are guys we need to build around. That is NOT Alonso and if Lindor had fewer years left, it would not be Lindor either.
This isn't the NBA. They don't need Juan Soto. Trade everyone possibly but Pete and be his highest bidder but don't spend money again until you see progress
even soto cant help this current team what it would take to pry him out of the bronx and the millions upon millions itll cost to I'll out the rest of the roster would be insane so met fans give it up soto is not coming there
people actually thought this team could compete for a WC what a joke they stink all around they have stars that are not getting it done plain and simple. and if i'm the Mets I'm letting Alonso walk he doesn't deserve a long term deal the only thing saving them is they'll have money to spend in FA for 25.
And yet yall believe Soto will change things around 😂. First off , Soto sees this mess and he’s probably will resign with the Yankees , or somewhere else but it’ll not be with the Mets . Second one player won’t change a culture 😂
This is why ny teams will never be good. Your bs media has this reaction when the Mets said before the season they wanted to rebuild and build the farm to be competitive in the future. They need a minimum 3 crappy seasons to get to a level like the dodgers but they’re media won’t let it happen
To quote the great Joe Beningo in his many rantings of the Jets, "I am sick and tired of this disgraceful franchise!"
"Oh the pain"
JETS = Just End The Suffering
METS = Mercifully End The Season
Jets are actually a really good team now
Okay.
Dude who threw his glove obviously cared....
Yup, but it's not like he can go to Modells and get another 😂
& Yankees fans caught the Glove to boot....😂
@@mr198221because Modells is closed. He can go to Dick's though.
Where we at now
I feel 90-95% of player with huge contracts are just cashing checks. Very few of these big contracts ever pan out.
Steve Cohen is learning the hard way that money doesn’t magically solve your problems in baseball like it can for a hedge fund. Giving close to a billion dollars combined to Lindor, Nimmo, Marte, Verlander, Scherzer, and Diaz has set the organization back 5-10 years.
Worst team money can buy 2.0
Yeah he really is.
Yeah he really is.
Na they just can't sign minor leaguers and Adrian Houser around that pieces. Kids should have been on the roster to have best of both worlds
Well said, and the turn with stears to build the farm is also an epic fail
This Mets team is unwatchable, embarrassing and full of jokes. forget Juan Soto coming here, develop the farm system, get some solid pitching and get Alex Cora as a manager, please

They ARE building the farm , the only problem there is when these guys come up they're engulfed in a culture of LOSING! And not caring.
@@brianchu3317no, we need to WIN NOW.
only 3 games out but keep on rooting against them.
They need to change the structure of contracts and base them on performance. This is absurd
So offer conditional contracts, and you won’t sign any player because there’s 20+ teams offering guaranteed contracts
I have given the Mets more years/chances than I gave my ex wife.
We were together for 15 years when it ended. While the Mets and I have been together for 59 yrs.
The end result is the same. I gave everything, and got very little in return. I was mislead and became angry and bitterly disappointed at being lied to. I did what was expected of me, year, after year, after, after year, before I finally threw in the towel.

You’ve already wasted thousands of my dollars over the years, as well as a large portion of my youth.
Sorry, but we can’t go on like this 😢😂
You don't need to ask for a divorce just walk away and have a love affair with the other team in New York, bruh

Juan Soto will never be a met 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 soto will never be on a loser team like the mets
yes he will. Skankees won't be able to afford him. Soto will want north of 50 million dollars.
It's kind of stupid to keep beating a dead horse, don't you think? Except for a handful of Soto fanatics, most Met fans knew Soto would come to the Mets. If Soto were to come to the Mets with the way they are playing, Soto himself would tank because he would have no protection in the lineup, with middle of the lineup Met bats hitting .200 to .230, Soto's BA would likely take a 30-point dip.
@@ratghost25you’re a clown, the lineup is playing very well
yes he will. he will go for 60 million or more. He won the WS by himself with the Nats, he can do it with the mets. Money talks.
"Following each other off the plank"😅😅 Good one BT
The problem is they're not as good as you think they are. You are what your record says you are. I love it. They can't lose enough.
Have they blamed Buck today?
Buck must be smiling now, not his fault after all. Injuries hurt them last year, this year they are not hitting and giving up the lead late
Mets love the Managers with 0 MLB experience & sometimes General Managers... what's that saying? Get what you pay for....
Why is bench coach John Gibbons not the manager?
Tom Seaver and Gary Carter rolling over in their graves watching these bums in NY
Soto will never go to this garbage ass team.
The Mets can offer Soto Fort Knox. I got news for the Met fans there are consequences for being this inept and such a clown show.. He ain't coming..
I thought waking up after a Yankees win is great but seeing Sal in misery about the Mets is just as good. Yes, please sell it all and then try to bring Soto there. Soto will look at the team and say well, this team is rebuilding and will not be able to compete for 3-4 years. Yeah, he wants to go there. 🤣
I just got an ad to buy luxury seats for a Mets game. Lol why would I want to torture myself?
The difference between the Wilpons and Cohen is simple. The Wilpons were intensionally terrible. Cohen is accidentally and obliviously terrible.
Who knew just throwing money at a professional sports franchise and praying that would magically make them not suck doesn't hardly ever work?
Mets fans were celebrating last year when the Mets tore it all down…and now they’re shocked that they’re bad?
Don’t compare Yankees to Mets franchises. Not even close.
They were better off with Buck as Manager . He would’ve kept the team in check
listen from Arizona - miss NY - but love you guys, you bring it back
1986 feels like 100 years ago!
Hey, at least we have the City Connects 😂
Probably the ugliest ones in the league
Why would Soto sign if they blow it up?
I would bet he is not coming here unless Steve Cohen foolishly give him Ohtani money
Soto would be the star of the team and the rest of the team would admire and look up to him for inspiration, bruh
Exactly. He’s not signing to join a 70 win team
@@oscargonza2748 problem for the LolMets is Soto wants to win. The LolMets won't be doing much win for a couple of years to come.
Even if they do sign him. He'd turn into a typical met n lose all skill
What else is new the Mets are an embarrassment 😂😂😂
LolMets is forever 😂😂
@@jackharrington697LolMets, the gift that keeps on giving. 🤣
We thought the Wilpons were lousy owners but Steve Cohen is much worse.
There is no contract that the Mets can offer Soto unless it includes at least 25% ownership stake.
I should get a few friends and go to a a Met game and do the wave in empty stands like in Major League. Maybe it will go viral. Mendoza should have thought twice. Ask Willy Randolph and Buck.
Pete Alonso sucks too. All he does it hit homers, when he's not hitting them he's useless outside of that
From all of what you two have said Mr Lopez is right.
IMO they don’t need Juan Soto or any other highly priced superstar right now. They need to take a look at how the Orioles and the Braves (even though they’re having a few problems right now) did it. Fully commit to player development and a 3 year rebuild.
Juan Soto better run as fast as he can from this s**t show. He’s not a fit. Only old stars come here to die in this black hole.
As good as Soto is he’s just one person and won’t make any difference if surrounded by a team of mediocre players. Just a waste of money and his prime years. Instead of spending $50M per year on one player get 2-3 above players instead.

Why do sports talk radio guys scream all the time? Don't they have an indoor voice?
I’ve only seen it from the Mets. They are always loud and annoying.
Juan Soto is not coming to the Mets he rather take less then go to a team with no leadership
If the money is close I can see him taking less to play where he wants. But the Mets might offer Soto a billion dollars and I could see him take it to go lose for the rest of his career.

This aged well
Dude said our best year in 25 years was rock bottom lol
This team has been lucky the Knicks and Rangers have played well into May.
The Wilpons didn't own the Mets until 2002 BT. Cmon know ur shit
FIRE SAL!!!
I am a second generation Mets fan
There are 2 more generations after me
Back in the late 70's and Early 80's the Mets were bad,this 2024 Team maybe worse!
My late Father who started rooting for the Mets in 1962 had a quote back then that unfortunately applies today
"THE EPITAMY OF HOPELESSNESS"
4 things needed to win: 1) starting pitching, 2) relief pitching, 3) hitting & 4) defense. Mets have 1 only - starting pitching.
Yes 1 starting pitcher , he is hurt Senga , the rest are either mediocre, rejects or castoffs
@@kwaicheung6091severino isn’t bad
BT 100% right and I am a met fan!!
‘’Ummmmmmmmmmmm”……exactly,
The LolMets train keeps on rolling. This meme will never die. It is eternal. This blind belief in Cohen is naive bordering on idiotic.
The Mets under the Wilpons still went in on big time players.
Money doesn’t guarantee anything
So our 200 hitting shortstop decided the moment was right and called a meeting to say we have to be better? Remember only 7 more years of Francisco
proud of ya Lopez
the only mf to show any emotions
u aint gon miss shit wit these mfs
Let’s be real , the Mets are still paying Bobby Bonilla , enough said !
Idk why everyone is so shocked by this season. We knew we wouldn’t be competitive till 25 post trade deadline last year. Our only decent guy is injured. Everyone wanted our gm who came form a small market and that’s what he’s doing
And yet say blow it up year after year, but expect a winning season
The difference: spending. However, the result is the same. The team sucks.
Oh God, not Joe in Clark

Honestly the Mets have no shot at landing quality talent unless they rebuild and draft well.

I just can't respect these two since they disrespected Carl Banks. I am probably being too hard on them but it still doesn't sit right with me
Sal talking so much 💩 before about getting Soto, bla bla bla. Juan ain’t going near that disaster of a franchise.
If they want to sign players like Soto, they better get it together. If a player wants to win, not the place to go.
Soto is not going there unless they offer him a billion dollars.
