Steve Cohen wins first Mets presser; Tony La Russa in the danger zone

Today’s word of the day is ‘presser’ as in the New York Mets held a press conference yesterday to introduce Steve Cohen. He used his time to talk about how bad he wants to win, spending money, getting the best players, wanting a World Series within 3-5 years; it was everything a Mets fan would want to hear. Was it all the right things to say? Maybe. What about Sandy Alderson? What did he have to say (0:06). On Tuesday’s show we talked about Tony La Russa and his DUI arrest… then what happened after the show was recorded? The transcript was released from La Russa’s arrest and it is a horrible look for him. The Chicago White Sox are in a bad place right now, but will Jerry Reinsdorf acknowledge this (21:38)? Marcus Stroman said he would never sign with the Chicago White Sox. He said for no amount of money would make it worth it (26:19). Review - Shithouse (31:10). A word about Tommy Heinsohn. Hall of fame coach and player. Don Mattingly and Kevin Cash were the winners of the Manager of the Year awards. Let’s talk about these awards and what it meant for Don Mattingly. Who wins the big time awards tonight, Cy Young and MVP (40:10)? #waittosee -------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.   Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson  To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/ To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.
