Steve Cohen CALLS OUT Scott Boras & Pete Alonso At Mets AmazinDay

[@DanielSchilling-f5m]

I think the clapping for Steve at the end is because of how honest and transparent he was to the fans. The Wilpons gave the Met fans lip service for years for top agents like Harper. Likewise, David Stearns is now getting us lip service over Pete saying, “He’s a great Met and has loved his time here.” I personally have gained a whole new respect for Steve now that he kept is straightforward with us.

[@Metro-vq3zl]

@@DanielSchilling-f5m love your comment. Just one thing missing. Uncle Steve should tell everyone exactly what his offers were.... That's totally transparent.... I'm sure it was more than generous.... Let us know🙏😎 King Cohen is a generous and loyal man. Boras and Pete greedy bitches. Rich Uncle Steve should let us and the baseball world know what the offers were. I know for fact that King Cohen offered much more than anyone would. Complete transperancy and prove how great an owner Cohen is. My opinion is Steve Cohen is an awesome owner and just not letting players and Boras use him. So sad to see it end this way.... It's greedy Boras and Pete's fault not Cohen or Stearns fault. GM Stearns and King Cohen building a dynasty.... So sad Pete will not be a part of it.

@@jonathandill5529 Did it really? This is the second victim of the Soto contract. The starting pitching is the first. And if you think that means Vlad next year I dont think so. This is only a younger version of the things they think are replaceable with Alonso. So I dont see $40+ for a first baseman if he is thinking this way. Plus I dont see the Mets spending about $100 on two players with this talk. So you got your man this offseason and that might be all you get for the foreseeable future. You might be picking up the Sean Manae's, Clay Holmes, Griffin Canning's from here out.

Of course, Cohen is the richest owner in the world. This had more to do.with Stearns than anything. But, Pete could have axcepted the 158 million for 7 years, but Pete thought that he was worth more (he is insane). I don't want to hear anymore about him wanting to be a Met-he just want the money.

It will be the same with Vlad Jr next year. Do you think they are going to pay $40 million for him or even $35 mil? Looks like this is the team with a few minor tweaks but get use to the Griffin Canning's and the Clay Holmes' in the future.

Cohen clearly states that he’s fine spending if the contract is fair, Cohen isn’t gonna bid against himself for Pete Alonso, a player who’s been on a downward trend since his rookie season. Are you saying Cohen is cheap for not paying Alonso a higher AAV than reigning World Series MVP Freddie Freeman?

[@TheEWFX29]

@@DJRocks107 If he thinks Alonso isn't worth the money its because they feel no first baseman is worth that. He isn't hoping to sign Vlady to a 12 year contract especially when he has another possible DH signed already. If he doesn't like this contract he isn't going to like that one. He isn't even offering Alonso 25 for 3. You think he is giving Vlad Jr $450 mil? He doesn't believe that is a good place to allocate his money. We will see but I just don't think they would spend that kind of money for that position. He wasn't talking wistfully he was talking strategically.

[@DJRocks107]

there’s a massive difference between Vlad compared to Pete, that’s age… and you’re also putting words into others mouths. You just seem delusional at this point, just because they think Pete isn’t worth that contract, doesn’t mean they think no first basemen is worth that contract. Soto won’t be a DH for years, and vladdy is a first basemen, a position where defense isn’t valued as much as other positions. Again, comparing Pete Alonso to Vladimir Guerrero Jr is the biggest joke I’ve seen all day… and do you really think Pete is worth 25 for 3? If so, I have a bridge to sell you. Vladdy will also be 26 if he hits free agency and has a market. Pete has NO market, so why bid against yourselves for a player who tried squeezing every single penny out of you? Also do you not realize the Mets payroll is still $40m below our payroll last year? If the Mets aren’t willing to pay Vladdy, why are they interested in him? Please do your research before spewing nonsense. Please take a second and realize that you’re trying to compare Pete Alonso to Vladimir Guerrero Jr…

[@TheEWFX29]

@@DJRocks107 This is the modern payrolls. Soto isnt worth 50 mil either. But for the Mets to have Alonso for 3 more years when there is more open space payroll wise. He doesn't see a on again-off again production of a lackluster Vlad Jr, especially with a Blue Jays team if they dont get Alonso. They will spend whatever. Cohen isnt going to go all in on Vlad Jr when Tarik Scubal and Paul Skenes is out there in the future. If you think they want to sign a first baseman to a $35-40 mill contract then you are a delusional fan. And if you think Vlad isnt going to get that the Blue Jays are up to $350 mil and will probably go to at least $400 mil. So that's the cost. It wont be a 5 year deal for Vlad. If you think Cohen wants to waste money there you dont know much about baseball and you arent listening to what he was saying.

Pete is telling himself that he’s the best player in the game, he’s not. His defense is subpar, he can’t steal bases, is not a clutch player, and strikes out way too much. The Mets have been overly patient and fair with Pete. Perhaps letting him go to another team is best.

I Don't usually have respect for baseball owners. As a Mets fan, I never cared for the Wilpons. I give Steve Cohen here my respect. I love Pete and all but he is very poorly represented by Bor-Ass. Pete could've said, enough is enough, and he would be a Met. Sure, he has every right to search for the most money, but at the end of the day, who do you want to play for? It's not the fact and it is that Steve Cohen has the money to pay Pete without question. With the Bor-ass demands that are unrealistic to Steve, he will not. Steve can offer Pete a billion-dollar contract if he wants to. Cohen makes smart business decisions, if he didn't he wouldn't be where he is today. If you offer Pete a ridiculous contract, there's less room to improve your team. This ping pong match has wasted a lot of time in finding an Ace starter, and a solid #2, a bat or two who makes good contact, and good contact in the clutch. This delay made the Dodgers an even greater team that had won the World Series from their great pitching and timely hitting. Baseball is not rocket science, throughout its history, teams mostly won on their strong depth, willingness to win, and luck.

[@DJRocks107]

That’s not true, you have to look deeper into his stats, he was statistically the worst clutch hitter on the team last season. There’s a massive difference between a solo shot when up 6-1 and a 3-run homer to give your team the lead. His underlying metrics were horrendous and he struck out swinging at a low and away slider outside the zone in pretty much every clutch situation he was in last season.

There must be a lot of stupid fans out there when you need a video with an "on the spot reporter" telling you what you just heard from the main protagonist....

[@anon01]

Thank you; that could not have been worded any better!

[@kentmacaig9119]

Welp, Pete's not a Met. You don't come back from that.

Harland Williams really knows how to talk baseball

I think if Pete signs with the Mets, Vlad signs an extension. If Pete goes elsewhere, even the Blue jays, Vlad tests the market.

[@marklundy6879]

Vladdy and the Jays are making progress and it’s looking more likely he’ll stay in Toronto. I still believe Alonso will stay in NY.

[@dwaynebanks4194]

Vlad is testing the market

[@travis6694]

@@dwaynebanks4194He’s definitely testing the market unless the jays offer around 600.

cohen is a businessman that’s why i always disagreed with the people saying “richest owner on baseball doesn’t care” etc. if that was true beers and hot dogs would be a lot cheaper. uncle steve wants to win and he wants to make money. he’s not going to make bad deals just for the sake of giving them. i think pete is being influenced by soneone to get more money. but if he truly loves the mets as much as he claims he does i think he will sign

[@jimmcmanmon]

It wasn’t the same people cheering, and it was a smaller group, probably employees

[@SuperCatacata]

decent vid, but some of the stuff you are pausing the vid for really doesn't need explanation.

[@kr6955]

Its just Steve Cohen does not have high regards for Pete Alonso. He has no problem outbidding himself and others to give Soto and Boras the money

[@patpozzuto4809]

Mets suck as an organization, if pete Alonso signs with the Jays I'm a Hays fan... otherwise it's the Texas Rangers!

[@TheFinalBo33]

If Cohen is saying not to an amount of $ then you are asking way too much.

[@johnsantello9731]

As if Pete Alonso is Willie Mays. As if Straw's team HR record is some astounding accomplishment. Pete grossly overestimated his worth.

[@jamesstinedurf9841]

he essentially put Pete on blast and i don't think he can bring him back now. even if you do re-sign him, there's going to be resentment by puting this out to the public. i honestly don't even think they want him to be honest. i think Vladdy in on the horizon

[@ghmonroe9872]

Points for Alonso to consider Pete Alonso needs to remember that the Mets chose not to manipulate his service time in his rookie year. They could have easily sent him down to AAA for 45 days and he wouldn't be a free agent now. If Pete begins to get offended by any offer that the Mets make, he needs to remember that he started this war. The Mets made a 7 year, 158 million dollar offer in 2023. He turned down that offer and shortly afterward dropped his existing agent in favor of Scott Boras. When you hire Boras, you are declaring war against your current team. Points for the Mets to consider You got the gem of the 2024 - 2025 off season and appreciably improved the team. You secured the gem of the auction. But now you are about to significantly devalue that gem by putting it into a substandard setting. How quickly you have forgotten the lessons you should have taken from the 2024 sweep of the Yankees. Judge and Soto! That was a scary duo. But you simply pitched around them and easily handled the remainder of the Yankee lineup. Now you have Lindor and Soto. You were so careful not to put undue pressure on Vientos in 2024, and what are you doing now? If that kid doesn't open the season replicating his 2024 success don't you think he's going to start pressing? What's your lineup after Vientos? Vientos had a great year, but he can be pitched to. Have you looked at his 1st half/2nd half splits? The league is learning his holes! Has David Stearns made this a personal battle. I hope he realizes that he can win the battle with Scott Boras while the Mets lose the war. David … you are smart, but are you smart enough to defeat your own ego?

[@ACJ-x9x]

Pete screwed Pete!!! Have fun in 🍁

[@paulbegley1464]

Well Pete retirement is always an option

[@suttamuzik2292]

Put Baty at first not Vientos

[@ismaelzorrilla3189]

What the Mets can do is give Pete just 1 year for 30 so that way they can jump in Guerrero free agency but that's my opinion what do you guys think

[@TouchingBasesPod]

Cohen has significantly more pull being the owner and not the FO. And being an owner who already added players BETTER than Pete Alonso. Mariners, Cardinals, anyone else.... they dont have that. So even if you gavw this same speech in another org, they dontnhqvw the actions to back it up.

[@michaelpaulsen5420]

Besides Soto, it has been a sad offseason. Dodgers basically will win another World Series. The Mets? Not sure David Stearns has a plan. He has yet to make an impact trade. I think he’s one of those guys who holds on to prospects until death do us part.

[@adk7962]

Pete got badly bamboozled by Boras.
