A lot has been made about the Mets’ near-term outlook over the past week. And rightfully so. I mean, what do you expect people to talk about after executing one of the most unique (and expensive) trade-deadline sell-offs we’ve ever seen? Will they be “punting” 2024 or will they put together a contender? The anticipated availability of NPB ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto will give us some answers.
As much as some MLB insiders want to push the “See ya in 2026” narrative, I just don’t see that happening. Mostly because that hasn’t been in the Mets’ DNA since Steve Cohen took over.
