Steve Cohen tells NY Mets fans we’ll hear from him soon with no promise of when

Steve Cohen became the New York Mets owner prior to the 2021 season and expectations were, after one season, that we’d hear from him a lot. Cohen was active on social media, often in the public eye, and sometimes a little too involved in every major happening around the team. As time has gone on, Cohen has taken the role of a more typical owner who is neither seen or heard all that much.

Amid the managerial turnover and the team’s slide down the standings, fans have turned on the franchise he hoped to bring back to respectability. While addressing a fan’s ejection for bringing a “Fire Stearns” sign to the ballpark, he made a promise fans have been waiting for.

Steve Cohen will speak, but what can he really say to appease anyone?

All Cohen can say at this point is to agree how messy this season has become. Show the paying fan he is as aggravated with the way the season has gone as we are. The silence is what has fans reaching out to Cohen on social media in the first place. An expectation was set in 2021 that in the darkest of times we would get some opinion from him.

When things have gone well for the Mets, Cohen is the first to report it on X. On April 23rd, when Bo Bichette finally had a big game, he couldn’t resist commenting.

July 8th of 2025 included his infamous “Fab Four” declaration in reference to Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo.

Days later, he followed it up with more gloating.

At the end of September, he was apologizing to fans for the way the season went.

Cohen doesn’t owe the fans a comment on every at-bat. Not every single Mets front office decision needs Cohen to weigh in. His job is to fund the team and pick the person in charge of the wallet. In this case, it’s David Stearns.

When we hear from Cohen in 2026, it has come via Stearns. The POBO has been the mouthpiece for the previously outspoken owner. After the Carlos Mendoza firing, Stearns relayed Cohen’s feelings of his job security, something we’ve seen/heard several times already over the last two months or so.

Nothing Cohen says will satisfy everyone. His best move is to say anything at all. Remind the doubters of the demands he had for a championship. Let us all know how unacceptable the performance has been. Get angry. Read from the script and just be seen and heard.

The Mets head out on the road after Sunday's finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. To Toronto and then Atlanta, this weekend would have been the best time for Cohen to hold a press conference and at least say something, anything. What's he waiting for?
