I have been a Mets fan for over 50 years. While I believe in the Cohen-Stearns regime, and I think they are headed in the right direction, I think your article is spot on as to why so Many Mets fans feel the need to fill social media with vitriol and negativity. While those comments may be understandable, however, they are not only stupid and destructive, they also make the Mets, presently not the most desirable landing spot for free agents, even less desirable.
Met fan for over 50 years as well and while I understand fan emotion, I DO trust the process and the direction the team is heading. Having the wealthiest owner in baseball comes with a lot of expectations, some unrealistic. Some fans seem to want the front office to buy, buy, buy. But the Mets goal has been long term sustainability from year to year and I believe they are going about it the right way. Unfortunately, the intense passion of the fans produces extremes between being on top of the world (when they’re winning) and the sky is falling (like right now). With that said, there are many different types of Mets fans: ones that are vocal and calling out Cohen/Stearns as the new Wilpons and the ones that understand the long term approach the front office is doing. Neither one is wrong. Neither one is right. Fans are just going to “fan” in their own way.
