The time has come for Steve Cohen to make his biggest move as an owner of the New York Mets. It’s time to hold everyone in the organization accountable for the Mets’ recent free-fall.

Francisco Lindor made his presence felt with the Mets since he entered Port St. Lucie for Spring Training. Who can forget him doing a recreation of Eddie Murphy’s character Prince Akeem from “Coming to America” by wearing an old-school Mets jacket and yelling, “Good morning, my neighbors!”? He sounded like one of us seamheads when he moaned about analytics ruining …
Mets manager Luis Rojas is managing with a purpose this Spring Training. He has been more hands-on with the players. He demonstrated how vocal he could be when his players screw up in fundamentals at workouts. He sounds like a man that is more secure about himself as a manager. Maybe it’s because of Steve Cohen’s presence as Mets owner. …
Trevor Bauer and his agent Rachel Luba played the Mets fans all along this offseason about playing in New York and wanting the stage.

Steve Cohen’s objective was to get a centerpiece player for his signature move as Mets owner whether it’s in free agency or a trade.
