It was going to be a dream year for baseball in New York. The New York Yankees were coming off a 99-win season and a trip to the ALCS in 2022 and had re-signed Aaron Judge while adding coveted free agent pitcher Carlos Rodon. The New York Mets had recorded their first 100-win season since 1988, signed free agent starters Justin Verlander, Kodai Senga and Jose Quintana to go alongside Max Scherzer, and rolled out the highest payroll in MLB history.
