Mets owner Steve Cohen would like to be more measured in his spending

After turning the New York Mets into baseball's biggest spender, owner Steve Cohen would like to see his team build more economically through its farm system. "I'd like to get below the Cohen tax," Cohen said Tuesday, referring to the fourth luxury tax threshold introduced in 2022 and aimed at him. In search of their first World Series title since 1986, the Mets lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in last year's NL Championship Series.
