A funny thing happened while I was filling out my ballot for the All-MLB Team, which will be announced Tuesday at the Winter Meetings in San Diego:
There were 32 spots to write in names covering first and second teams. And I noticed that I had three members of the 86-win Mets and just one from the 103-win Yankees.
Jacob deGrom was one of my five first-team starters, Pete Alonso was my second-team first baseman and Seth Lugo was one of my second-team relievers. For the Yankees, I had just DJ LeMahieu as the second-team second baseman.
