Steven Matz’s decision to sign with the St. Louis Cardinals in the free agency earlier this week didn’t sit well with New York Mets owner Steve Cohen. In a tweet posted on Wednesday, Cohen said he’s not happy with the outcome while calling out Matz’s agent Rob Martin for “unprofessional behavior.”

Matz spent the first six years of his MLB career with the Mets before being traded to the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of the 2021 season. The 30-year-old ended up putting together a great season, going 14–7 in 29 starts with 3.82 ERA and 144 strikeouts.

The Mets showed interest in reuniting with Matz after he became a free agent this offseason and believed the feeling was mutual. However, Matz went on to snub the franchise and opted for a four-year, $44 million deal from the Cardinals instead.

Cohen now believes that Martin misled the Mets about his client’s intentions and didn’t hesitate to make his feelings public. 

“I’m not happy this morning,” Cohen wrote on Twitter. “I’ve never seen such unprofessional behavior exhibited by a player’s agent. I guess words and promises don’t matter.”

Martin, on the other hand, responded with a statement in which he said he’ll “take the high road” while adding that Matz “made the decision he felt was best for him and his family.”

During his time in New York, Steven Matz made 107 starts and had a 31-41 record. He posted 4.35 ERA and had 552 strikeouts in Mets’ jersey as well.

Many New York Mets fans are rejoicing today, with the team finally being released from the clutches of the Wilpon family.

According to the latest reports from MLB sources, the Wilpon family is selling the team to billionaire Steve Cohen. The deal is said to be worth upwards of $2.4 million.

Why should Mets fans be excited? Because Cohen is a real fan of the team who has been going to games since he was a child. His net worth is also estimated a lot more than the Wilpons. The 64-year-old billionaire has an estimated net worth of $14 billion, which Mets fans hope he will use to bring big-name stars to the team in order to build a roster that can compete for a World Series title.

The negotiations to find the Mets’ new ownership has lasted months. Beginning in late 2019, the Wilpons began taking offers, at which time Cohen was considered the only real candidate. However, more bidders entered the fold in February, including power couple Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez.

In the end, Cohen’s bid won out in August and he has been in negotiations to seal the deal every since.

Cohen will become the official owner of the Mets once he is approved by at least 23 of the current 30 MLB owners. The voting is expected to take place at the annual owners’ meeting in November.
