Description

As speculation builds over whether First Baseman Pete Alonso will sign again with the New York Mets, the team's owner, billionaire Steve Cohen, is not just building a baseball team, he's building a brand.  

The team is historically more associated with hardscrabble doggedness than the glitz of the Yankees. But with the recent addition of star player Juan Soto, and a push by Cohen to build a casino near CitiField, the longstanding culture of the Queens team could be on the verge of change.

MLB reporter for the Sports Business Journal Mike Mazzeo joined WNYC host Michael Hill.
