New York Mets owner Steve Cohen didn’t hold back in his recent interview during the inaugural Amazin’ Day at Citi Field this past weekend. Cohen and David Stearns made, they didn’t completely close the door on a Pete Alonso reunion, even with the rather harsh comments.

So, beyond revealing an exhaustion from negotiating with Alonso’s camp, Cohen’s comments confirmed a couple of other matters. One, in a world without Alonso returning to Flushing, the Mets may add more pieces. Two, the Mets are at least acting like they care about how much they spend.

In Steve Cohen's 'brutally honest" assessment, he expressed his displeasure with the way discussions have gone with Pete Alonso's camp.

New York Mets fans expressed their frustration aimed at David Stearns' direction after he gave the latest in regards to Pete Alonso's contract negotiations.

There remains two clear paths for the Mets with the start of spring training looming: one without Pete Alonso and one with him.
