Stevie Cohen Unleashed: Owner Slams "The Usual Idiots" Over Payroll Drama!
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Fri Dec 19 2025
Description: In a morning segment dripping with New York intensity, Brandon Tierney breaks down a shockwave of tweets from Mets owner Steve Cohen. Reacting to a New York Post article suggesting a payroll dip for 2026, Cohen fired off an aggressive defense, labeling his critics "the usual idiots" and insisting he "can't imagine" the budget being lower than last year. BT analyzes the owner's shift in tone—from the "scepter-wielding" savior to a billionaire arguing about waiver claims and minor league movement. While Tierney maintains his support for Cohen, he issues a stern warning: after losing Pete Alonso to the Orioles and Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers, a Twitter war with fans isn't the victory Mets fans are looking for. Steve is feeling the heat, and if he doesn't land a big fish before Fan Fest, the reception at Citi Field won't be pretty.
