NEW YORK - If there was any doubt that the tenure of Steve Cohen would mark a new era of New York Mets baseball, the team's new owner hopes the 10-year, $341 million contract given to shortstop Francisco Lindor erases any skepticism.
"I told you I'm all-in," Cohen told reporters Monday, "and this should leave no doubt."
Under the ownership of Cohen, the Mets became one of the most aggressive teams in baseball during free agency this past offseason, pursuing big-name free agents such as George Springer and Trevor Bauer as Cohen tried to make his mark as the team's new owner.
