The New York Mets are coming off a season in which they missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year. Nonetheless, they underwent a surge after the All-Star break. What was once a team that was 11 games under-.500 ended up 86-76 by season’s end.
Heading into 2020, the organization will be looking to build off that momentum even more. Speaking at Dellin Betances‘ introduction to the media on Thursday, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen showed great confidence in his ballclub.
“We’re chasing a World Series champion now, we’re chasing another division titleholder in the Atlanta Braves,” BVW said, per Danny Abriano of SNY.
