The biggest problem for the 2016 Mets is the 2017 Mets … and 2018 and 2019.
Conventional wisdom was the 2015 NL East title was just the beginning of the good times, notably because of the might of the Mets’ rotation. How do you feel about that today?
The 2016 campaign is setting up as one of the most disappointing in franchise history — and this is a franchise swathed in disappointment. But it has less to do with failing to win consecutive division titles for the first time ever or to dominate in even a tepid wild-card chase or simply to hold onto the concept of being the team of New York for more than an eye blink.
