Steve Cohen may already be playing in the 2025 season.
The Mets’ owner posted and later deleted a tweet Wednesday night that appeared to suggest the team was already planning to trade players this summer.
Cohen responded to a tweet highlighting a post about potentially blowing up the roster to help future seasons. allegedly tweeted“Everything is in the future, but there’s not much we can do before the trade deadline.”
Cohen is known for sharing his thoughts on X, both good and bad, and this deleted statement is certainly notable for its potential meaning.
The 2024 season has long been seen as a transition year for the Mets, and while they could earn a wild-card spot, realistically they won’t be on par with the Braves or Phillies.
The Mets, who suffered their fourth loss in five games on Wednesday night and entered Thursday’s game at 19-23, have all but proven to be a mediocre team with a record around .500 all season.
The 2025 season is seen as the year for the Mets to go all out, especially with Juan Soto becoming a free agent, and the Mets’ offseason moves revolved around a one-year deal to preserve offseason flexibility. Ta.
One of the perks of a one-year deal is the ability to trade players like that, and many have speculated that the likes of Luis Severino or J.D. Martinez could be traded if things get worse.
The tweet that Cohen responded to centered on: Mets fan posts It touches on the reaction to a previous tweet about the “Let’s Blow It Up” post.
Making it explode involves a trade, and Cohen’s response certainly indicates the Mets have no intention of avoiding another trade deadline, as the seller was looking to replenish the farm system.
This comment reads as if Cohen is saying the Mets can’t start cutting pieces until closer to the deadline, which the Marlins are already doing.
The most interesting part of a potential Mets sale is whether the team will listen to Pete Alonso, who will be a free agent this offseason.
For now, the Mets will try to avoid losing their fourth straight game to the Phillies in Thursday’s series finale before finally getting a reprieve Friday against the hapless Marlins in Miami.
The Mets entered Thursday 11 games behind the Phillies in the National League East, but just one game behind the Padres, Diamondbacks and Nationals for the third and final wild-card spot.
