Steve Cohen will be “speaking soon,” the Mets owner told a fan on social media Sunday morning.
It was one of several posts on X that Cohen made Sunday to fans amid the disastrous season that led to the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday and a continued free fall for the Mets, who dropped two of three games to the Phillies over the weekend.
“Steve what’s the plan moving forward,” the fan asked the Mets owner. “Do you plan on speaking? I know many, many fans want to hear you speak. This season has been soul crushing.”
Cohen did not indicate when Mets fans would hear from him, and he did not further address his take on the team’s current standing.
The Mets owner did spend some time on the social media platform, pushing back on a narrative online that a fan had been kicked out of a game at Citi Field in a viral video on Friday night for holding up a “Fire Stearns” sign, referring to the Mets president of baseball operations, David Stearns.
“I’m cool with fans expressing themselves and carrying signs,” Cohen claimed in his response to one fan about the alleged incident. “I’m not cool when fans around him are complaining that he was ruining their day at the ballpark. He was belligerent and was asked to be more considerate to paying customer around him. Unfortunately, he refused.”
When another fan questioned Cohen’s explanation, he responded to the post as well.
“Other than from my head of ballpark operations. Why let the facts get in the way of a narrative,” Cohen wrote in response to a user who said that “I haven’t seen anyone back up this claim” about his previous social media post.
The frustrations come with the Mets having lost their fourth straight series after a 5-4 loss to the rival Phillies on Saturday.
They’re 35-49, 15 games out of first place in the NL East and 9.5 games removed from the final National League wild-card spot despite one of MLB’s top payrolls.
Cohen has owned the Mets since 2020, and the club has seen more downs than ups under his stewardship, making the playoffs just twice.

The Mets made it the NLCS in 2024 before losing to the Dodgers in six games and lost to the Padres in the wild-card series in 2022.
They went through an amazing collapse last season after going 45-24 by June 12, but then went 38-55 and missed the playoffs on the final day of the 2025 season.
