Generally, fans don't have a whole lot of say in who their team signs or trades. They can yell and scream all they want on Twitter, invade the comment sections on Facebook or maybe even make a dance about it on TikTok, but those decisions are up to the owners and general managers.
Mets fans, as Mets fans tend to do, went crazy -- shocked that somebody actually wanted their opinion on who to put on their team. They threw out names like David Dahl and Kyle Schwarber. Guy Fieri might have subtly offered his services in the batter's box. One fan even submitted himself for consideration, shouting out Met legend Xavier Nady.
What's next? Will Cohen let fans in the Coca-Cola Corner manage a game next year? Hey, I mean, it's not without precedent.
