In 2024, Mets owner Steve Cohen has expressed a lack of urgency in securing a new deal for star player Pete Alonso, indicating that an extension is not imminent as Alonso approaches his walk year. Cohen's comments suggest that the Mets have not engaged in contract talks with Alonso, despite the player's significant contributions to the team. Additionally, Cohen made a remark that seemed to criticize the previous owners, the Wilpons, as he faces pressure to achieve his goal of winning a World Series with the Mets. The information was reported by @petersblendorio.
