Summary

Sports Radio Personality Joe Benigno calls in to react to the current dire state of the Mets team and the management decisions made by owner Steve Cohen and David Stearns, following Pete Alonso's move to Baltimore to join the Orioles. Despite expectations from Cohen's wealth, Benigno expresses disappointment, arguing the team is being run like a small market franchise. He recounts various poor trades and signings, such as letting go of key players like Edwin Diaz and signing underperforming ones like Frankie Montas. Benigno draws parallels to past mismanagement and asserts a deep-seated frustration with the direction of the team, going so far as to label Cohen's ownership a fraud. He laments the state of the franchise, comparing it unfavorably to other teams like the Dodgers and Phillies, and expresses a desire for significant changes. Learn more about your ad choices.
