New York Mets owner accuses Matts agent of breaking promises

▲ New York Mets owner's criticism of Steven Matts' agent

The New York Mets owner publicly criticized the opposing agent for missing out on signing left-handed pitcher Steven Mats, who was released as a free agent from the Toronto Blue Jays.

Mets owner Steve Cohen said on Twitter, "I've never seen such unprofessional behavior by a player (Mats) agent.

Mats, who played with Ryu Hyun-jin (34) in Toronto in the 2021 season, recorded 14-7 and an ERA of 3.82, and was a pitcher interested in signing from the Stove League.

In particular, it is known that the 'family' Mets club, where the Mats played until last year, has recently reached a rough agreement with his agent on an FA contract.

However, on the 24th, Matt signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cohen's owner accuses Matt's agent of breaking his promise.

However, Matts agent Rob Martin said, "It's unfortunate that [Cohen's] publicly criticized him." I did.
