Mets owner Steve Cohen defends $341M+ payroll, rejects criticism despite key player losses and rising spending.
New York Mets owner Steve Cohen pushed back on social media after a New York Post report estimated the team’s 2026 payroll at $310–320 million, calling critics “idiots” and reaffirming his commitment to keeping spending at or above last year’s $341.7 million.
Despite losing key players like Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso, the Mets added high-profile free agents including Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, and Jorge Polanco, collectively costing about $68 million annually, while Juan Soto remains under contract at $50 million per year.
Cohen emphasized the team’s continued investment in pursuit of a World Series title, even as rising spending fuels tensions over unresolved labor talks and potential future salary caps.
