Steve Cohen will buy you, your pet, your loved ones and each free agent in sight.
What the Mets owner is doing to this franchise is nothing wanting remarkable. He’s thumbing his nose at the luxurious tax bill. He’s blowing through it and no person will stop him. The Mets payroll after luxury tax will go over $400 million and he can pay every cent of it. They’ve put together a championship roster and so they aren’t done yet.
To react to the Mets re-signing Brandon Nimmo, signing David Robertson and Jose Quintana and trading for Brooks Raley, we bring you an emergency “Amazin’ But True” podcast with Nelson Figueroa and me.

Amazin’ But True Podcast with Jake Brown & Nelson Figueroa:
- NIMMO A LIFETIME MET: This was the best move by the Mets for eight years, $162 million. $20 million a season will not be a nasty deal and now he can turn into the rare lifetime Met. He was drafted by the Mets at 18 in 2011 and now will stay through his age-37 season. He gets on base and is the perfect leadoff hitter. Would like to see him steal some bases moving forward.
- STEVIE SPENDING SPREE: Mets fans have been waiting for this their whole lives. Cohen is spending all the cash to place out one of the best team possible. He doesn’t care how much luxury tax the Mets undergo. He’ll do whatever it takes to place a championship roster together. The crazy part is he still has more to do with getting one other starting pitcher, one other bat and possibly one other reliever.
- SENGA/QUINTANA/STARTING ROTATION: Kodai Senga may be very much the subsequent signing the Mets will make. Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Senga atop your rotation is frightening to affix Jose Quintana and Carlos Carrasco. Quintana was an under-the-radar signing coming off one of the best 12 months of his profession. He replaces Taijuan Walker for a greater price and is arguably a greater pitcher. Adding a Senga or bringing back Chris Bassitt would allow David Peterson and Tylor Megill to be bullpen pieces or depth starters if someone gets hurt.
- DAVID ROBERTSON/BROOKS RALEY: After not trading a prospect to get him on the trade deadline, Billy Eppler went out and signed him for one-year, $10 million. Robertson is top-of-the-line setup men in MLB. He has been to the playoffs consistently and been to the World Series. Robertson paired with Edwin Diaz on the back end of the bullpen will make the Mets even higher. Brooks Raley is the lefty the Mets bullpen badly needed. He’s coming off one of the best 12 months of his profession and has some nasty stuff. This bullpen has a lot of different pieces.
