As I sit here writing this, MLB’s Opening Day festivities are just one (!) sleep away. The Mets will kick things off in Miami against the Marlins. Once the first pitch is thrown, New York will officially own the highest Opening Day payroll in MLB history.

We’ve heard rumblings regarding MLB owners being annoyed about how Steve Cohen did business this past offseason. But how does commissioner Rob Manfred feel about it?
