Steve Cohen reflects on challenges as Mets look to future in 2027
Summary

Steve Cohen, owner of the New York Mets, acknowledged the team's disappointing 2026 season and emphasized the need for change. With the team currently on a 12-game losing streak earlier in the season, Cohen has begun assessing the mistakes made, including risky trades and player decisions. Despite recent success with 11 wins in 15 games since the trade deadline, Cohen is focused on building a sustainable future, including a significant overhaul of the team's roster and developmental system. Finding a new manager following the midseason firing of Carlos Mendoza will be a key priority, along with building from within through the farm system.
