Alonso Contract Talks 'Worse' Than Soto Acquisition, Says Mets Owner Steve Cohen

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has compared Pete Alonso's contract talks to Juan Soto's acquisition, stating that this offseason's negotiations are 'worse'. The comparison is notable given that Soto's deal was widely seen as a masterclass in player valuation and negotiation strategy. Cohen's comment suggests that the team is facing significant challenges in securing a new contract for star slugger Alonso. The situation has raised eyebrows among fans and observers, who will be watching closely to see how it plays out.
