Chris Russo urges Mets fans to target owner Steve Cohen amid struggles

Chris Russo suggested that New York Mets fans should focus their frustration on owner Steve Cohen instead of president of baseball operations David Stearns during a recent broadcast of 'First Take.' Russo pointed out Cohen's significant financial involvement and decisions regarding players, Pete Alonso, who was not re-signed and signed a $155 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles last December. In response to Alonso's recent success, Mets fans paid tribute with a standing ovation after he hit his 300th career home run. As of now, the Mets are underperforming with a record of 69-82 and face scrutiny regarding their management choices.
