Billionaire Steve Cohen's approach to building a title contender has mostly involved outspending other teams, which has caught the attention of one Dodgers star.
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Justin Turner high-fives Freddie Freeman after Freeman scored on a single hit by Trea Turner during the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds in Los Angeles April 14, 2022.
Cohen has proven he is one of the few owners who is willing to pay the luxury tax. Many owners tend to shy away from the tax because of the added cost and reduction in profits that comes with signing players.Some of Cohen's ownership colleagues are believed to be less than happy with the Mets' spending patterns. But, during the recent owners meetings, many in attendance acknowledged Cohen is not violating any of the league's rules.
Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers during a game against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium Oct. 2, 2022, in Los Angeles. But Freeman, who signed a six-year, $162 million contract with the Dodgers in March, said other teams should not be complaining about what Cohen is doing."Why would you be upset? The guy wants to win," he added."Spend away. Why not? He’s telling his fans, ‘I’m with you.’ It’s excited the fan base to have an owner that wants to win as much as they do.
"We cut back, but to a $240 million dollar payroll," Freeman said in defense of the Dodgers."Sure, we didn’t have the $300 million signing. But, in this clubhouse, you look around you still see a really good team."
