Steve and Alex Cohen released a statement regarding Koosman’s passing on behalf of the entire Mets organization.

For as bad as some people think the Mets’ front office hirings and goings-on are dire, at least they aren’t the Astros.
Wandy Peralta opted into his 2027 option with the San Diego Padres, earning himself $4.45M for next season.
