Part 8/12:
Cohen, renowned for his wealth and willingness to spend, may face a pivotal choice this offseason. Despite the team's recent struggles and injuries, Cohen's desire to maintain fan interest and compete at a high level could motivate him to pay whatever it takes to retain Alonso or make a bold move to replace him if necessary.
Sherman suggests that Cohen’s emotional investment could push the Mets to either re-sign Alonso at a premium or pursue high-impact trades to reshape the roster entirely. The question is whether Sterns, a more measured and analytical mind, will align with Cohen’s intent or uphold a more conservative approach focusing on defense and age profile.
