The richest MLB owner on the planet is tweeting again, as Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discussed on the latest episode of “Baseball Bar-B-Cast. ” With the Mets having lost eight in a row to fall to 7-12 and last in the NL East, Steve Cohen is back in action on the website formerly known as Twitter. Nobody likes to lose but I saw some “ green shoots tonight “.
On offense, Lindor had two hits including a home run. Bichette got a double hitting it to left field as opposed to recently being right field prone. Benge got a solid hit.
Soto started his running progression today. … — Steven Cohen (@StevenACohen2) April 15, 2026 Cohen has now tweeted six times in 2026, with his latest coming Tuesday night after the Mets lost to the Dodgers 2-1 en route to being swept in that series. As the hosts noted, this is not the first time Cohen has taken to social media to try to reassure the Mets’ fans.
“Cohen has attempted this tactic multiple times in the past, including last season leading into one of the more embarrassing collapses for a franchise known for embarrassing collapses,” Shusterman noted. The hosts had some fun with Cohen’s use of the phrase “green shoots,” which might be a new one for many baseball fans. The term is used to refer to signs of optimism about a down economy, according to Mintz, who said he had to do some research on the origin of the phrase.
