NEW YORK -- Carlos Carrasco got a welcome call from new Mets owner Steven Cohen.
"He was so excited. He can't wait to meet me. I can't wait to meet him, too," the pitcher said Tuesday. "The way he talked, the way he said everything is -- he looked like a really nice guy."
New York has bulked up since Cohen completed his $2.4 billion purchase of New York from the Wilpon and Katz families on Nov. 6. Carrasco is expecting a postseason contender.
"I'm so happy right now. I wish spring training started next week, to meet everyone and start wearing this jersey," Carrasco said during a news conference.
