As MLB opens another postseason on Tuesday with the first wild card games, the largest shock after the 162 games marathon is that the New York Mets will lose a world series offer.
The Mets, who have the highest payroll in the league and arrived at the NLCS last season, fell to the Miami Marlins in game 162. The Cincinnati reds also lost their end against Milwaukee brewers, who had already secured a place in the playoff, but the 4-0 defeat of the Mets sealed their Fate.
The Mets fans were furious, and the legend of New York French Sports Radio criticized the organization.

“This is such colossal failure,” French said in his podcast. “This is one of the great colossal collapses that we have seen from a talent team in a long time.”
The 2025 payroll, promoted by a free agent agreement that establishes a record with Juan Soto, reached $ 340 million. They justified it early, possess the best MLB record in mid -June.

But the collapse that French described never stopped. The Mets became scratched, balancing high to the minimums without consistency.
“There are bad teams. That is not them, they are not a bad team,” said French. “They are a low performance group. That is what they are to the center and should be ashamed.
“I never thought they would not be fallen. I never thought they would not resolve it to this point. I never thought that its launch would dissolve as much as they did. They were also a high content alignment throughout the year. They became a bad defensive team. They became a bad situation.

Strong words of the “Sports Pope”, but many fans shared the feeling on Monday when the Mets focused on 2026.
General Manager David Stearns confirmed that manager Carlos Mendoza will return next season. However, Star Slugger Pete Alonso announced after the defeat against Miami that he will choose not to participate and test the free agency again.
Since June 12, the Mets were 38-55, an unfathomable skate considering its early domain. On September 1, they still led the Reds for six games for the last cupcase.

“This was a slow drip that began at the end of June and was never resolved,” said French.
