I could see the Mets deciding to spend with a new owner trying to make a splash. But I'm guessing he's not adding $375M in future salaries in year one (not including a Conforto extension) .
Based on the AAV, you're talking over 150M before any arbitration salaries come into play.
So not factoring in Conforto's extension, arb payments to Diaz, Matz, Nimmo, Lugo, Davis, Rosario, and others, you're nearing the 200M threshold fairly quickly.
And considering they'll likely need to add more money at the deadline if they hope to contend in 2021, I doubt Cohen wants to be paying luxury tax in Year 1.
