By all accounts, new Mets owner Steve Cohen wants to win. He said so in his introductory presser, with the words being echoed by team president Sandy Alderson. That is, unequivocally, a good thing, and something we as Mets fans have not had in what feels like forever.
The team is moderately well positioned to do that. The offense should be good, even with the unfortunate suspension of Robinson Canó and his 141 wRC+ from a year ago. They have the depth to cover it and the money to play with. The rotation is a work in progress, even with Marcus Stroman back in the mix, though they can be good if, again, Cohen is serious about spending.
