  • The NY Mets 2026 Season

    It’s not looking good initially.

    They let some key guys go in the past couple of days. I don’t know what their plan is but it doesn’t look like they’re trying to win in 2026. Pete Alonso, who wanted to remain a Met, signed with the Baltimore Orioles; Edwin Diaz, their renowned closer, went to the refining champion, LA Dodgers, and they traded Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers.

    What message is the front office giving to their fan base? It does not seem confident about aspiring for the World Series trophy. It’s puzzling because last year they got Juan Soto who has been worth it coming off his first season with the team.

    Now what’s the plan? What does the front office want to do to improve their roster? Is that even the goal at this point?

    Mr. Met Kart for the 2025 Schedule

    The New York Mets (or “Metropolitans” as Steve Somers used to call them) are my favorite baseball team. I have been a fan a long time. Actually, I am a fan of all the New York sports teams. I became a more of a Mets fan because they play in the National League. (I didn’t like teams that played in the American League because I thought that it was unfair to the teams in Canada and their fans.)

    The 2024 season has been a pleasant surprise, when one considers how disappointing last season was and the lackluster offseason moves that were made by the front office. Francisco Lindor has been fantastic and Jose Iglesias has been a revelation this year.

    Because of the new qualification rules, the Mets have a chance for the postseason. At 50-47 they are ABOVE .500 and in the final wild card spot as of this writing. Hopefully, they continue their winning ways into the postseason (and a World Series title) and carry that momentum into next season when they face the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
