New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has spoken out for the first time about the club’s shocking late-season collapse, and the response from fans was mixed.
The moment Mets fans dreaded over the last week became a reality on Sunday afternoon. After being one of the best teams in the league during the first half, they went 38-55 over their last 93 games to complete one of the biggest collapses in MLB history. The franchise with a payroll of $341 million in 2025 has a lot to answer for, and it starts at the very top.

On Monday afternoon, team boss Steve Cohen took to X to apologize to his fanbase for his club’s sad showing over the last few weeks as they blew a solid lead in the Wild Card chase.
“Mets fans everywhere,” Cohen began by writing. “I owe you an apology. You did your part by showing up and supporting the team. We didn’t do our part, and we’ll do a post-mortem and figure out the obvious and less obvious reasons why the team didn’t perform up to your and my expectations.
“We are all feeling raw emotions today. I know how much time and effort you have put into this team. The result was unacceptable,” he added. “Your emotions tell me how much you care and continue to motivate the organization to do better. Thank you to the best fans in sports.”
