Steve Cohen: "At the owners' meeting, I had owners coming up and they go, 'You're 100 percent right. You are following the rules.' Which I am."
— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) February 20, 2023

Steve Cohen on cultivating a family atmosphere with the Mets:
— SNY (@SNYtv) February 20, 2023
"Other people have said, 'You shouldn't get that close to players. I would do it differently.' I don't agree with that. I think it's important to have a personal touch. I think that matters, it shows you care." pic.twitter.com/3n4LMk9bqH
Steve Cohen on Mets farm system: "I don't think they focused enough on defense (before he bought the team). You’ve got to be a complete ballplayers and not just a half a ballplayer. These things are important to us, but it requires a different approach, a more rigorous approach."
— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) February 20, 2023
Mets.com: Steve Cohen discusses offseason spending spree. "In addition to his roles as owner, chairman and CEO, Cohen said he is currently filling the duties of team president as the club seeks a successor to Sandy Alderson -- a search that could continue into the summer. Alderson is now an advisor to Cohen and no longer acting as president."
FOX Sports Digital: Deesha Thosar: Mets' Cohen as concerned with building farm as winning World Series Deesha featured this quote from Steve: "In the end, and I think this is really important, when I measure my success as an owner, obviously you want to win a World Series. But I'm also going to measure my success on building a farm system, so we can create sustainability year in and year out. That's really important to me. That's how you really create something that's special."
Mike Puma NY Post had this quote: “That is how you really create something that is special — the farm system being innovative and doing new things and taking good players and making them great. And if we can accomplish some of those things, and I think we can, that would be a marker of success for me.”
Jon Heyman NY Post: Steve Cohen is the Real Mets Star. "There’s only one constituency that concerns him...'I made a commitment to the fans,' Cohen said. And at least for today, they appreciate it to the point of adoration."
MLB Trade Rumors: Sandy Alderson No Longer Operating As Mets’ Team President.
SNY.TV: Daniel Vogelbach slimmer, ready for heightened expectations in first full Mets season. "Vogelbach 'just trying to make sure that I’m ready to do my part to contribute'...Last season Vogelbach fared better for the Mets at the plate overall (.255/.393/.436 with a .830 OPS and 139 OPS+) in 55 games last year than he did for the Pirates (.228/.338/.430 with a .769 OPS and 116 OPS+) in 75 games. But he hit fewer home runs (6 vs. 12) and batted in fewer runners (25 vs. 34) in New York."
Mike Puma NY Post: Daniel Vogelbach ‘ready to do my part’ for Mets after slimming down.
