New York Mets owner Steve Cohen is pleased with the improvement his team has shown this season compared to his first year as owner in 2021.

Speaking to Tim Britton of The Athletic, Cohen praised the team for making strides but also stressed the importance of continuing to get better:

“We’ve made significant progress as far as rebuilding the franchise. It’s going to take a while because there’s so many different parts. Baseball is more complicated than you think. There are a lot of moving parts, and to get it all right takes time.

“We’ve added a lot, but I will never feel satisfied. That’s not who I am. I’m always trying to figure out where else we can go next. I’m always in a state of constant improvement, and that’s the way I want this organization to work.”

The Mets entered this season having missed the playoffs in five straight years, including last season when they went 77-85 despite leading the National League East at the All-Star break.

So far this season, the Mets are 35-19, and they lead the Atlanta Braves by 8.5 games in the NL East, which is the largest divisional lead in Major League Baseball.
