TWEETS OF RAGE

Cohen fumes on social media after Matz spurns Mets for Cards

Cohen wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, “I’m not happy this morning. I’ve never seen such unprofessional behavior exhibited by a player’s agent.I guess words and promises don’t matter.”

Cohen’s tweet came less than a week after the owner said he wasn’t sure how much he would use Twitter in the future.

“I’ll continue to tweet, probably not as much as I did previously,” Cohen said during a Zoom press conference to introduce Eppler as the team’s new general manager last week. “Especially during the [GM] search, I wanted to respect the candidacies of the people we were talking to and didn’t want to make it a public search… I didn’t want to turn this into a game. Now that [the search is over] I’ll probably get back on and see how it goes. We’ll see. I think people like it, so why not keep doing it?”

Cohen said it was an attempt “to connect with the fans and think I was pretty successful with that, just getting feedback from people from the ballpark.”

But as Cohen also noted that while fans enjoyed communicating with the owner of the team: “Twitter is a tough place to do it in general because it tends to be combative… You know what the comments are. It’s a tough place to get your message across. We’ll see. I am a busy guy.”
