Cohen's Apology to Mets Fans

After the New York Mets missed the playoffs for the 2025 season, owner Steve Cohen took to social media to express his disappointment and apologize to the team's loyal fans. In a candid post, Cohen acknowledged, "We didn't do our part," branding the team's performance as "unacceptable." This statement comes after a season that promised so much but ultimately fell flat.

A Season of High Hopes and Major Disappointment

The Mets started the season strong, holding the best record in Major League Baseball with a stellar 45-24 mark. However, the team's fortunes took a dark turn, leading to an 83-79 finish, missing the postseason. If they had secured a win in their regular-season finale against the Miami Marlins, their playoff dreams would have remained alive. Unfortunately, they suffered a disappointing 4-0 loss, sealing their fate.

Investing in Success

During the offseason, Cohen made headlines by signing star slugger Juan Soto to the richest contract in sports history, hoping to solidify the Mets as World Series contenders. This move followed a surprising run to the National League Championship Series the previous year, which initially suggested a bright future. However, the team's collapse this season has left fans and analysts questioning the effectiveness of their current strategies.

Facing an Uncertain Offseason

As the Mets look toward the offseason, they must tackle several pressing issues, including the future of Pete Alonso, an impending free agent who has long been the face of the franchise. Although Cohen has shown a willingness to invest heavily in talent, it has become evident that a reevaluation of their approach is necessary to achieve their ultimate goal: winning the World Series for the first time since 1986.
