Mets co-owner Steve Cohen meant to DM not tweet!

A phrase I will rarely say is “Good job Andy Martino” but “Good job Andy Martino” (who knows why you don’t like Luis Castillo).  Also while things are being weird…good job SNY.  I know, right?

If my memory works, the deleted tweet may have said something about ‘not much you can do until the deadline.”

already?

From SNY

Naturally, I called Mets owner Steve Cohen this morning to ask about the tweet that he posted and deleted last night during the Mets loss in Philadelphia.

Cohen was flabbergasted by the interpretation spreading online that he was hinting at the team becoming trade deadline sellers.

“All in the future, not much we can do until the trade deadline,” Cohen wrote in response to a fan last night.

Cohen told me that he had actually meant to send a direct message, which he occasionally does when interacting. More importantly, he said he was not in any way indicating that the Mets will become sellers. (via SNY)

Anyway, Nathan Thurm, a spokesperson for the Mets said, “We aren’t selling.  Why would you say that?  I never said that. Steve didn’t say that. Maybe it’s you that’s selling, did you ever think of that?”

I agree with Mr. Thurm, because other than Pete Alonso, what exactly is there to trade,  You signed Lindor for half a century, and Nimmo is an actual keeper.   I guess you could move Sugar Diaz, but then what happens to that snazzy light show.

Anyway, great job as always Steve. It’s good that the Wilpons are gone. You and Alex are nailing this ownership thing, and the marketing has been on point.

Mets Suite: $30,000 plus $28 in fees

On my travels on the interwebs this morning I was served an ad for the Mets Suites.

I suspect that demand for Mets tickets is low, so I decided to see if I could get a quote for a SATURDAY in JULY against THE BRAVES.   

So, I don’t want to hear about how school isn’t out yet, or the weather, or how people are watching the Knicks and Rangers.  This isn’t Tuesday night against the Marlins.

I think my favorite part of the $30,000 suite is that they tag on $28 in fees instead of just eating the fees.   Even f you had $30K, don’t the fees make you want to tell the Mets to go Alonso themselves?

OK, how about a cheaper box?  Here’s where it gets funnier.  This box is “only” $15,000 and the fees have gone down…..from $28 to….wait for it…$27.

I am not an expert in Suitenomics.   Why are the fees a dollar less?  Does the maid get a $1 tip for the $30,000 box?  Do the electrons cost a dollar more to process a larger transaction?  What are these fees even covering????

 

4th Place Mets made a bunch of boring roster moves

 

Earlier today, the Mets announce the following rostermoves – RHP José Buttó was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse…RHP Yohan Ramírez and INF Joey Wendle were designated for assignment…RHP GrantHartwig, LHP Joey Lucchesi and INF Mark Vientos were recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.

 LHP Joey Lucchesi is expected to make his season debut tonight in Philadelphia…In seven starts at Triple-A this year, Lucchesi is 2-1 with a 2.58 ERA (11 ER/38.1 IP) with 16 walks and 28 strikeouts..

Has the Mets T-shirt army deserted?

Steve doesn’t worry about such things (based on his last tweet to me) but this should be very worrisome for the executives in Queens.    Maybe the army was getting shake shack.

If the diehards can’t be bothered, the casuals won’t even sample

By the way, what happened to the Queens Crew dance team?  Has that already been ret-conned out of existence?  Did I imagine the Mets announced a dance team?
