Ever since New York Mets‘ owner Steve Cohen took over the team a few weeks ago, fans and media have speculated about his spending potential. They have had dreams about the team signing all the top free agents and becoming a powerhouse from day one, even if Cohen himself (and president Sandy Alderson) have said that won’t necessarily be the case.
However, for Mets’ fans hungry for glory, it’s hard not to envision the scenario. After all, they have the wealthiest owner in MLB, several needs to fill, and some star players available in the market for nothing but money.
