I honestly cant imagine the Wilpons doing a 1 on 1 interview with Howie Rose. This level of transparancy is awesome.

Met fan since 1962. I am an original Lady Met, the “women’s auxiliary “ back in the day. Been on this roller coaster for what seems like several lifetimes, and never want to get off this wild ride. No @‘s...win or lose, I am and will always be, a Met fan.

[Cabstuba]

Love that Mr Cohen wants to hear from the fan bass. Huge change from his predecessors. Good luck to all of us moving forward!!!

[JAYSTAR]

I couldn’t be prouder of Steve Cohen 👍🏼👍🏼 he cares about US THE FANS!!! What a genuine down to earth SAFE EVERYONE HAPPY HOLIDAYS

[tombrennan]

The future is bright for the Mets. Thank you Steve Cohen for your leadership.

[james_tx]

Steve is legit. He will turn this team into an MLB juggernaut.

[samueldeleon]

Uncle Stevie is a God send. The season can’t start soon enough. LFGM

I already really like Steve Cohen. He is saying all the right things, and doesn't evade the tough questions, he meets them head on and articulates them in the proper way. I'm confident that he will turn this team around. And Steve is smart enough to realize that these bad player acquisitions have to just STOP (Jed Lowrie, Jason Bay, Bobby Bonilla, etc.) So we can't keep asking the Mets to just sign every free agent that becomes available on the market. We have to be patient and give this guy a chance. Let's Go Mets!!!

[andrewlevitan]

Uncle Stevie buying the team was the best thing that happened in 2020.Period.

[wilsonmorales]

How about a Mets minor league team in Puerto Rico and have Carlos Delgado or Beltran run/manage it?

[sgTGG]

Nice beard Howie!! Put it in the books!!!

[sneakyquick]

My dream is to own a mlb team. Steve is living his dream.

[adamnevis]

Thank you Howie for doing this! Excellent broadcast!

[howardbrianj]

Who’s more excited to sit down with whom, Mr. Cohen or Howie?

[aldiaz]

I'm a Yankees fan, and I can't say how happy I am for you Mets fans to finally have a relatable and seemingly awesome owner. Good luck!

[mdpokey]

Love this guy. Sense of humor, personality, duty to franchise and fans

[frankcalenzo]

Been a Mets fan since 1969 and I don't think I've been this excited to follow my team during the offseason since then. Hopefully when fans are allowed at baseball games again, my son (another huge fan) and I will be getting to Citifield from upstate NY for a couple of games. The last few years we've watched our Mets at other stadiums as a protest against the previous ownership. Thanks for being an owner who knows what it's like to be a regular fan. Go Mets!

[ralelunar]

Sign Howie to a lifetime contract, he's an invaluable part of the Mets!

[NoUploadJustComment]

Good to hear Howie Rose's voice during the offseason. Reminds me of good times.
