Mets owner Steve Cohen got real on the failed negotiation talks with free agent !B and former Met Pete Alonso.

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen publicly acknowledged that contract talks with free-agent first baseman and Mets fan-favorite Pete Alonso have been "an exhausting" process. It seems Cohen isn't yet ready to completely move on from the 30-year-old slugger.

During a panel at the event, as the crowd broke out into chants of "We want Pete" and "Pete Alonso," Cohen got "brutally honest" about the process. The owner said that the Mets had made a "significant" offer to Alonso, but that negotiations had felt lopsided.

Mets owner Steve Cohen was “brutally honest” regarding negotiations with first baseman Pete Alonso’s camp at Amazin’ Day on Saturday. “I don’t like the negotiations,” a visibly angry Cohen said.

The Mets are suddenly in the same place strategically trying to replace Pete Alonso as the Yankees were when Juan Soto left for the Mets. Cue, the irony.

Steve Cohen can afford to pay Pete Alonso whatever he wants. The man ranked No. 162 on Bloomberg's Billionaires index has already committed to paying Juan Soto

Weeks after Juan Soto signed a monster 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets, there was still a buzz among his new teammates.

To hear New York Mets owner Steve Cohen tell it, he is not close to re-signing free agent first baseman Pete Alonso for one reason. “And a lot of it is, I don’t like the structures that he presented to us. I think it’s highly asymmetric against us, and I feel strongly about this,” Cohen told fans (and reporters) at Amazin Day on Saturday.

It hasn't been the offseason Pete Alonso expected as the four-time All-Star still remains without a team with spring training approaching.
