NEW YORK — When Steve Cohen spoke Wednesday, his players listened.
The owner’s news conference played on the televisions in the Mets’ clubhouse and elsewhere inside Citi Field. As he laid bare his feelings on the team’s stunning struggles — deep disappointment, an acknowledgement that they will be trade-deadline sellers barring a turnaround — no piece of his portrayal registered as a true shocker.
At a time when every loss pushes them closer to that seller fate, which would be a metaphorical white flag on the season from the front office, the Mets suffered another Tuesday night, falling 3-2 to the Brewers.
