What happened: Mets owner Steve Cohen addressed the club's likely sell situation in an exclusive podcast interview with Jon Heyman, covering the full sweep of the team's season. Cohen said he is not afraid to be a seller at the trade deadline, as the Mets were in 2023, but signaled the front office will let things play out before committing to a direction.
Why it matters: For a franchise that has spent aggressively since Cohen took over, an owner openly entertaining a sell-off marks a notable shift in posture. With the club well below .500, the comments frame the coming weeks as a possible pivot toward the future rather than a push to contend this season.
By the numbers: New York enters the day 35-50, having gone 1-4 over its last five and carrying a two-game losing streak.
What to watch: Watch whether the front office moves veterans as the deadline approaches, and how Cohen's public stance shapes the roster's direction for next season.
