Steve Cohen understands Mets fans’ reaction to core shakeup, stresses patience: ‘There is lots of offseason left’
It’s been a rough start to the offseason for Mets fans.
They’ve now seen three of their favorites leave town after last season’s ugly collapse that ended with the club falling short of the playoffs for the second time in three years.
The first blow came when Brandon Nimmo was dealt to the Rangers.
Edwin Diaz then decided to depart for the two-time defending champion Dodgers, and just one day later, Pete Alonso left for Baltimore on a big-money five-year pact.
As expected, the moves have drawn emotional reactions from fans all over social media.
Mets owner Steve Cohen is empathetic, but he stressed in a text to Jon Heyman of the NY Post that the winter is just getting started.
“I totally understand the fans’ reaction,” Cohen wrote. “There is lots of offseason left to put a playoff team on the field.”
Cohen is right, it is early, and there’s plenty of talent remaining in both the trade and free agent markets, but this team has holes to fill over the next few months.
New York still needs a top-tier starting pitching after injuries and underperformance came back to bite them during their devastating second-half collapse last season.
Devin Williams, the team's biggest free agent signing so far, adds a legit bullpen arm, but without Diaz, president of baseball operations David Stearns will need to find another reliever or two.
And now with Alonso joining the Orioles, they’ll need someone to reciprocate that production in the middle of this lineup at first base or elsewhere.
Certainly a tall task for Cohen and co. as they look to make their way back to the postseason.

ST. LOUIS — Dillon Dube, the only remaining unsigned player among the five members of Canada's 2018 world junior team who were acquitted of sexual assault in the high-profile case, has agreed to an American Hockey League professional tryout with the St. Louis Blues.
General manager Doug Armstrong announced the deal with the 27-year-old on Wednesday. Dube, fellow forwards Michael McLeod and Alex Formenton, defenseman Cal Foote and goaltender Carter Hart were found not guilty by a judge in London, Ontario, after being charged in connection to an incident there in 2018.
Hart with the Vegas Golden Knights is the only one who has played in the NHL since the trial ended last summer and all five were reinstated. Foote signed with the AHL’s Chicago Wolves last week, while Formenton is playing in Switzerland and McLeod in the Russia-based KHL.
The Blues said Dube would report to the Springfield Thunderbirds after receiving his work visa. Dube played 42 games with Dinamo Minsk of the KHL last season. He was with the Calgary Flames from 2018-24.
Also Wednesday, St. Louis brought back Robby Fabbri on a deal that pays him the prorated league minimum of $775,000 when he's in the NHL and $300,000 in the AHL. Fabbri played parts of his first four seasons with the club before getting traded to Detroit and playing last year with Anaheim.
Fabbri's signing came as the Blues put forward Jordan Kyrou on injured reserve. Kyrou was listed as week to week with a lower-body injury.
Michigan football’s hiring bar is Kalen DeBoer. Clear it, or hire him
The coaching carousel just stopped spinning, but the Michigan job could open in March, and I’d expect the Wolverines to pry loose a premier coach.
