Fans don't get to pick the owner, but if we did, I am not really wanting the unicorn mentioned. That sounds like a recipe for a guy to come in and impatiently put together a 300 million payroll, have it not work out, and fire everyone and be left with a bunch of bad contracts and sell off a broken franchise that will take years to recover.
I'd much rather bring in a guy who'd spend up to the cap, and be willing to run over temporarily when it makes sense and can put together the personnel to build a team that is a perennial contender. That's the kind of owner that will build a fanbase and build a sustainable, successful franchise.
Maybe. But the Mets unicorn just brought (bought?) them a 101 win season, an improvement of 24 wins over 2021. Most of the moves Cohen has made, from his manager on down, have panned out well at this point.
Don't need to remind anyone we finished 46 games behind both ATL and the Mets, 32 games behind the Phillies and 14 back of Miami. How long are those large to massive gaps gonna take to be closed with a "hands off,' slow moving and/or underfunded owner? And, what will happen further to attendance, radio and TV, and other revenue if we become like the old Senators?
