A New Era of Mets Excellence: A Plea to Steven A. Cohen
As we stand on the cusp of a new era in Mets history, I am compelled to reach out to you, Mr. Cohen, with a heartfelt plea. With the free agency period about to unfold, I am reminded of the words I penned four and a half years ago, begging you to buy the Mets franchise. Today, those same words resonate with equal urgency, as we find ourselves on the precipice of something truly spectacular.
The Ultimate Prize: Juan Soto
As an art connoisseur, you understand the satisfaction of acquiring that one piece that completes your collection. For the Mets, that piece is Juan Soto, the 26-year-old World Champion, Batting Champion, and MVP. His arrival would be the culmination of your vision for the franchise, a testament to your unwavering commitment to excellence.
A Generation’s Plea
I write to you on behalf of a generation of Mets fans who have endured decades of heartbreak and mediocrity. We’ve seen it all – the collapses, the scandals, and the disappointments. But with you at the helm, we’ve witnessed a transformation, a metamorphosis that has reinvigorated our passion and hope.
From Cruise Ship to Luxury Liner
Your purchase of the Mets was akin to taking the reins of a cruise ship headed in the wrong direction. You’ve since steered the vessel towards greatness, modernizing the organization and creating a desirable destination for employees and players alike. The progress has been remarkable, with 2022 marking a bull market for the Mets.
The Next Step: Juan Soto
As we navigate the ups and downs of the sports landscape, we must focus on advancing further. The next step is clear: sign Juan Soto. This is not a plea born of greed, but rather a recognition of the unique opportunity before us. With nearly $200 million coming off the books, the timing could not be more propitious.
Market Timing and the Art of Seizing the Moment
You understand the importance of market timing, Mr. Cohen. Sometimes, a unicorn falls into your lap, and you must seize the moment. This is one such occasion. Juan Soto is a once-in-a-lifetime player, and the stakes could not be higher.
Investing in Greatness
I ask you, Mr. Cohen, would you say that Juan Soto is worth five Pointing Mans? I believe the answer is an unequivocal “yes.” If you can invest $141 million in Pointing Man, then investing $700 million in Juan Soto is a logical and mathematical certainty.
Win Your Immortality
Five years ago, I quoted Proximo from Gladiator, urging you to “win the bid, win your immortality.” You did just that, winning the bid for the Mets. Now, as we stand at the threshold of another historic moment, I beg of you once again, “win the bid, win your immortality.” Pour another layer of cement on your legendary status, Mr. Cohen. You are the master of your domain, and this is your moment to shine.
