New York Mets owner Steve Cohen said that he isn't necessarily looking to get his team under the initial luxury tax threshold amid rumors about impending free agent first baseman Pete Alonso's future in Queens.
Cohen said, per Tim Britton of The Athletic, that next season's first luxury tax threshold of $241 million "seems far away" before adding:
"It just seems like that could be hard to do. We don't have to do that. I'm perfectly happy to finance us in a way where that isn't a goal of mine. If it were to happen, that would be fantastic.
