						<p>The possible changes keep coming.</p>
<p>Hands-on Mets owner Steve Cohen has used his Twitter account to respond to a bevy of ideas, including bringing back “Old-Timers’ Day” and putting the team’s newfound Robinson Cano money to use.</p>
<p>Now, he’s apparently thinking of celebrating one of the franchise’s biggest nightmares.</p>
<p ><a href="https://twitter.com/DieHark/status/1329594480220049408">Cohen was asked Thursday night</a> if he would consider paying out the roughly $18 million the Mets <strong>still owe Bobby Bonilla in a lump sum</strong>. Bonilla has scored a $1.19 million check every July 1 since 2011 as part of a bizarre buyout agreement with the Mets in 2000.</p>
<p>Cohen had other ideas on how to commemorate the famously odd arrangement.</p>

<p>“Let’s take a vote,” he wrote. “How about we have a Bobby Bonilla day every year .Hand him an oversized check and drive a lap around the stadium.Could be fun”</p>
<p>One fan took the idea even further, saying “Genius! And have a shirt giveaway that says ‘Bobby Bonilla got a million dollars today and all I got was this shirt’”</p>
<p>“That is a winner,” <a href="https://twitter.com/adler4mayor/status/1329605125439188993">Cohen replied.</a></p>
<p>With the Mets on the hook for Bonilla’s payments until 2035, maybe Cohen should just make the best of it.</p>
