Steve Cohen plans to speak soon after Carlos Mendoza firing as Mets spiral continues

Steve Cohen will be “speaking soon,” the Mets owner told a fan on social media Sunday morning. It was one of several posts on X that Cohen made Sunday to fans amid the disastrous season that led to the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday and a continued free fall for the Mets, who dropped two of three games to the Phillies over the weekend.  Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets.“Steve what’s the plan moving forward,” the fan asked the Mets owner.

“Do you plan on speaking? I know many, many fans want to hear you speak.This season has been soul crushing.”Cohen did not indicate when Mets fans would hear from him, and he did not further address his take on the team’s current standing. The Mets owner did spend some time on the social media platform, pushing back on a narrative online that a fan had been kicked out of a game at Citi Field in a viral video on Friday night for holding up a “Fire Stearns” sign, referring to the Mets president of baseball operations, David Stearns. “I’m cool with fans expressing themselves and carrying signs,” Cohen claimed in his response to one fan about the alleged incident.

“I’m not cool when fans around him are complaining that he was ruining their day at the ballpark.He was belligerent and was asked to be more considerate to paying customer around him.

Unfortunately, he refused.”When another fan questioned Cohen’s explanation, he responded to the post as well. “Other than from my head of ballpark operations.Why let the facts get in the way of a narrative,” Cohen wrote in response to a user who said that “I haven’t seen anyone back up this claim” about his previous social media post.The frustrations come with the Mets having lost their fourth straight series after a 5-4 loss to the rival Phillies on Saturday.

They’re 35-49, 15 games out of first place in the NL East and 9.5 game...
