The New York Mets made plenty of headlines during the 2021 season — and not in many good ways. The front office was a debacle and the on-field product became a historic gong show, holding onto first place longer than any team in history that ended the season under .500.
The offseason started with more issues. Steven Matz went elsewhere, sparking a Twitter rant from owner Steve Cohen that then led to new GM Billy Eppler “winning” the pre-lockout offseason.
Thus far, the Mets have signed four solid free agents.
Those free agents don’t know who their manager will be when the 2022 season opens.
