Mets’ Steve Cohen goes to bat for Tommy Pham amid controversy

When the Mets signed Tommy Pham to a one-year, $6 million deal last offseason, it was met with mixed reviews. However, the outfielder quickly showed it was a good move and forced his way into regular playing time before getting traded at the deadline. Team owner Steve Cohen also felt it was necessary to clear some things up on Monday morning.

Pham and the Arizona Diamondbacks were in San Diego this weekend to play the Padres. While waiting to hit on deck, Pham appeared to get into a verbal altercation with fans sitting nearby:
