Mets apologize to Marlins for soggy field that forced doubleheader

NEW YORK -- The sloppy field that caused a costly postponement for the Miami Marlins left the New York Mets all wet.

Mets owner Steven Cohen apologized to the Marlins on Wednesday for the circumstances that led to Tuesday night's series opener between the teams getting washed out. The game was rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Wednesday, affecting Miami's pitching plans in the final days of a heated playoff race and angering team officials, according to a report by The Athletic.

"Our sincere apologies to the Marlins and their fans for having to postpone last night's game," Cohen posted Wednesday on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.
