Mets running Super Bowl ad featuring Lindor, Nimmo, other stars
The New York Mets aren't just spending money on payroll before the 2023 campaign gets underway.
Steve Cohen's club will run a local Super Bowl LVII ad that'll be shown in the New York City area, according to The Athletic's Evan Drellich.
"That is happening," Cohen told team broadcaster Howie Rose in a recent interview. "I've seen a preview. I think it's great ... we're trying something new. I think the fans are going to love it."
The 30-second spot features star Mets players Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo, as well as new addition Kodai Senga, among others.
The commercial is reportedly costing the team about $1.5 million. It'll also be the first time a baseball club has taken out an ad of this nature since the Texas Rangers ran similar ones between 2016-18, Drellich adds.
