New York Mets owner Steve Cohen was transparent with the Mets' fan base chanting for Pete Alonso to be re-signed, saying contract talks have been worse than Juan Soto's.

Just before Mets owner Steve Cohen answered a question about where things stand with Alonso, a homegrown star and free agent first baseman, during a panel discussion, a spirited crowd began chanting, “Let’s Sign Pete! Let’s sign Pete! Let’s sign Pete!”
