Last year was pretty terrible for the New York Mets. The club was considered a postseason contender at the beginning of the season, but it failed to climb above the .500 mark after April. Although there were some bright spots like Michael Conforto and Jacob deGrom, most of the team’s top talent either got injured or underperformed.
Still, it’s a little surprising to see the team’s front office — the same front office that lifted the franchise from irrelevancy in 2011 to the National League pennant in 2015 — rated so low in a recent FanGraphs poll.
