Steve Cohen may already be on to the 2025 season.
The Mets’ owner allegedly posted and then deleted a tweet Wednesday night that seemingly indicated the team is already planning to trade away players this summer.
Responding to a tweet highlighting a post about potentially blowing up the roster to help future seasons, Cohen allegedly tweeted: “All in the future, not much we we can do until trade deadline.”
Cohen is known for sharing his thoughts on X, both good and bad, and this deleted remark certainly is a notable one for its potential meaning.
The Mets owner, though, did tell SNY that he meant to send a direct message instead of a tweet, and he still has his sights set on this year’s postseason.
“I believe in this team,” Cohen told the outlet. “I believe in the back of the baseball card. It’s way too early to speculate on anything. It’s May 16. I expect to make the playoffs. I know the fan base is frustrated, but it’s still early. We’re still very capable of making the playoffs. I fully expect to make the playoffs.”
The 2024 season has long been viewed as a transition year for the Mets, with the potential to win a wild-card spot but realistically not being on par with the Braves and Phillies.
The Mets, who entered Thursday 19-23 after a fourth loss in five games Wednesday night, have largely proven to be a mediocre team that figures to be around .500 all season.
The 2025 season has been viewed as the year when the Mets go all-in, especially with Juan Soto a free agent, and the Mets’ offseason moves revolved around one-year deals to keep offseason flexibility.
One of the perks of one-year deals is the ability to trade such players, and many have speculated that Luis Severino, J.D. Martinez and others could be traded if things go south.
The tweet Cohen responded to centered on a Mets fan’s post touching on the reaction to a previous tweet about a “Let’s Blow It Up” post.
Part of blowing it up involves trades and Cohen’s reply certainly makes it seem that the Mets will not shy away from another trade deadline as sellers aimed to replenish the farm system.
The comment reads as if Cohen is saying the Mets won’t be able to start shedding pieces until they get closer to the deadline, although the Marlins have done so already.
The most fascinating part of a potential Mets sell-off is whether the team would listen on Pete Alonso, who will be a free agent this offseason.
For now, the Mets will try to avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Phillies in Thursday’s series finale before finally getting a reprieve when they face the hapless Marlins on Friday in Miami.
The Mets entered Thursday 11 games behind the Phillies in the NL East, but just one game behind the Padres, Diamondbacks and Nationals for the third and final wild-card spot.
