Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Credits Steve Cohen for Making New York Mets a Super Team in MLB

Of all MLB teams, the New York Mets have surprised the most this season. But this did not happen overnight.

Even the Yankees legend Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez believes that Cohen has totally transformed the Mets.

Apart from being a baseball legend, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is one of the wisest minds in the game. Even after years of his retirement, the Yankees legend has a better understanding of the game than a few of the current players and managers.

Having played for over 20 years in Major League Baseball, A-Rod knows what needs to be done in baseball to make it an even better game. Recently, while speaking at a conference, the Yankees legend heaped some high praise on the Mets owner Steve Cohen.

Talking about the Mets, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez praised Steve Cohen for bringing the right people and believing in his team. A-Rod also applauded Buck Showalter for his managing skills. He even compared Showalter with the iconic NFL manager, Nick Saban.

“We’re talking about Steve Cohen… One of the richest owners in sports, but one of the richest as far as deploying capital analytics. But what he did differently is he also brought in Buck Showalter, who is a savant and is an old-school guy. Reminds me of Nick Saban,” said A-Rod.
