New York Mets team celebrating win
New York Mets have had a very busy but also slightly disappointing off-season. They have brought in a number of players but the Mets did not sign the star position player that they wanted. The deal that they had in place for Carlos Correa collapsed due to issues with the medical.
But even without the Correa deal, the Mets have spent a lot of money in order to improve the roster. But that is not the only thing the team has spent money on. They have reportedly spent a lot of money on a special advertisement and fans are not happy about it.

The New York Mets are one of the wealthiest teams in the entirety of MLB. But they may have crossed the line when it comes to spending money. Mets owner Steve Cohen has reportedly bought an advertisement for the upcoming Super Bowl. Super Bowl ads are some of the most expensive and would have cost millions of dollars. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal shared the news via Twitter.
Wait, the Mets bought a Super Bowl ad? Cohen will stop at nothing! https://t.co/ZSp9kdYeEk

In a Tweet, Rosenthal said, “Wait, the Mets bought a Super Bowl ad? Cohen will stop at nothing!” He seemed genuinely surprised by the news and seemed resigned to the amount of money that Cohen is spending.

Fans reacted differently and trolled the Mets organization as a whole. Some brutally stated that the Mets would never make a World Series and that a Super Bowl ad would be the closest they’d get. Others stated that the Mets were trying to buy fans. But most fans were generally trolling.
Closest they’ll get to a championship game

Seems like a waste of money, but I don’t have endless pockets from insider trading.

This is the reaction that most fans have had to Cohen’s spending. Unless the Mets win a World Series, the mockery and trolling that they receive will not end. This off-season, the Mets have added a lot of talent and are vying to win the 2023 World Series.

The New York Mets were extremely active this off-season and spent a lot of money, adding to their already bloated payroll. According to Bleacher Report, “the Mets have the highest 2023 total payroll in the majors by a landslide”. This comes after they added the likes of Kodai Senga, Justin Verlander, Jose Quintana, and Tommy Pham this off-season.
