New York Mets owner Steve Cohen woke unhappy on November 24, 2021. It was the eve of Thanksgiving and Steve Matz had signed with the St. Louis Cardinals rather than take a deal from the Mets.

Matz rejected an offer from the Mets to return to New York after spending a successful year with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2021.
