New York Mets owner Steve Cohen says he had a payroll budget in mind when the offseason began.

But he had "blown through" that number by the time players reported for spring training.

The Mets ' current projected payroll is approximately $325 million -- second in baseball to the Los Angeles Dodgers .

Cohen estimates the Mets ' payroll will likely increase to around $340 million over the season .

It's really hard to win a World Series , but the thought is we're putting together a team not just a team built for one year , but we want to create sustainable success. "If we keep making the playoffs, why can't we get to the ultimate goal? So, why not set out a high goal and try and make it.".
