Steve Cohen’s Pete Alonso Celebration Sparks Mets Fury

Steve Cohen standing and applauding Pete Alonso’s game-tying 300th career home run creates a heated debate over what the Mets owner was really celebrating. Evan Roberts is bothered less by the applause itself and more by the fact that Cohen could have kept Alonso, never made him an offer this offseason, then welcomed him back and cheered one of his biggest moments.

Shaun Morash sees another problem: Cohen was applauding a home run that hurt his own team, which sends a strange message after years of owners insisting every game matters. Tiki Barber is less bothered, but the conversation turns to how Mets players might view the moment and whether Cohen’s handling of Alonso now feels contradictory.
