When it comes to winning with the New York Mets, Darryl Strawberry certainly knows what he’s talking about. He was a crucial piece when the franchise last won the World Series, back in 1986, and is the all-time leader in home runs in the organization. He knows a thing or two about baseball.
In fact, Strawberry won it all three times, and with both New York teams. Now, as a Mets’ highly respected figure, he is excited about what new owner Steve Cohen is doing since he took over the organization.
Together with team president Sandy Alderson and general manager Jared Porter, the New York Mets have turned into serious contenders by bringing reliever Trevor May, catcher James McCann, shortstop Francisco Lindor, and pitcher Carlos Carrasco, not to mention several high-upside relievers.
