At Steve Cohen’s introductory press conference he said:
“I’m not in this for a short-term fix. I don’t want to be good one year and bad three. I want to be good every year. That’s the goal, and the team I want to build.
“If we don’t win [a World Series] in the next three to five years, I’d consider that slightly disappointing.”
Slightly? Steve, I will consider this MAJORLY disappointing. We could have kept the Wilpons around to not sign Ohtani and to win the third Wild Card.
Let’s all go back in time to when the fans through out the Uncle Steve nickname. If I told you then that on January 1, 2026 the Mets would have won ZERO rings, you would be surprised, wouldn’t you? If I told you Ohtani hit free agency and supposedly Steve didn’t even pick up the phone to try and sign the guy (Can that possibly be true???)
So no more excuses. We’re in Year 5 of the 3 to 5 year mission. It’s Ring Or Bust. Steve can be Slightly Disappointed if the 2025 Mets don’t win it all, but it’s a massive waste of potential.
