The Team that Will Not Die…moves on

Last night, the 2024 Mets season came to an end. The Dodgers—a clearly superior team, assembled by the best organization in baseball—were too big an obstacle, particularly as every arm on the New York roster ran out of gas.

This was, from any perspective, an absurd season. The Mets were expected to be a team in transition and had an offseason that was anything but flashy. They then started 0-5, went 9-19 in May, were 17.5 games back in the division, and seemed to be cooked well ahead of the trade deadline.

Somehow, that same team wound up prompting Keith Raad to describe them as “a team that will not die,” a moniker they more than earned.
