Mets owner Steve Cohen addresses MLB trade deadline, Jacob deGrom contract
NY Post
WASHINGTON – As Steve Cohen approaches his first trade deadline as Mets owner, he’s keeping an open mind.
The Mets most notably are thin on starting pitching depth, and the rookie owner said Sunday he would like to see what becomes available between now and July 30. But he also acknowledged the competitive balance tax, applied to dollars spent beyond the $210 million payroll threshold, will come into play. Spotrac places the Mets’ payroll at $199.9 million.More Related News
