Steve Cohen and his Mets team are not done spending yet.
, the Mets moved major league offseason spending beyond $2.3 billion. Of that, with that duo plus Edwin Diaz, Justin Verlander and Jose Quintana, the team in Queens is responsible for $386.7 million of it.
After hiring Billy Eppler last offseason, Cohen asked his new GM and top lieutenants for a plan moving forward. He listened to a variety of ways to stretch a buck. Then essentially remarked that he wanted to win. Now. And was willing to spend the money to do so to cover until the farm system, especially with pitching prospects, was more positioned to help. To solve the center-field problem now, for example, the Mets were talking to the Diamondbacks about Alek Thomas.
With the Nimmo/Robertson agreements, the Mets now have 17 major league contracts on the books for 2023 at $279.83 million for luxury-tax purposes. That includes the long-departed Robinson Cano at $20.25 million — the same as Nimmo’s annual value. Using the estimates at MLB Trade Rumors, the Mets have $27.15 million in arbitration eligible players, notably Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil. Every team will be charged about $18.2 million for benefits and to cover the pre-arbitration pool plan.
