LONDON -- New York Mets owner Steve Cohen says his team can still turn around its season and fans "have been through worse."

Cohen praised his front office and manager Carlos Mendoza during a news conference before Sunday's final of the two-game London Series, a day after Philadelphia won the opener 7-2.

The Mets entered Sunday's game against their NL East rival nine games under .500, just over seven weeks from the trade deadline.

"I know everybody's focused on the trade deadline. That's all anybody wants to talk about," Cohen said after posing for photos at the podium with shortstop Francisco Lindor.
