During the New York Mets' Amazin' Day event, owner Steve Cohen addressed the ongoing contract negotiations with star first baseman Pete Alonso. Despite the crowd's chants for Alonso's signing, Cohen revealed that a significant offer had been made. He acknowledged the complexities of the negotiation, noting it had been exhausting and challenging, comparing it unfavorably to previous player negotiations. Cohen emphasized the need for flexibility amidst the team's financial situation, suggesting Alonso's future with the Mets may be uncertain as they look to other players.
"We made a significant offer to Pete, Cohen said. He's entitled to explore his market. That's what he is doing."
"I don't like the structures that are being presented back to us. It's highly asymmetric against us."
