New Owner but still the Same Old Mets!
Steve Cohen purchased the Team but retained the Wilpons Manager, Coaches, Medical & Training Staff, and Scouts and rehired their failed GM Sandy Alderson. He traded for Francisco Lindor and extended him for 10 more years for $ 341 MM which he demanded prior to the Season without assessing if he fit and knowing that there was a plethora of top SS FA's coming in the offseason.
The Team was 4 Games in 1st Place and have had a brutal August and now are 7.5 GB in Division and Wildcard so they are done. They can't hit with RISP and are at the bottom of most offensive categories and their ace SP Degrom has been MIA. The FO big acquisition in the offseason was Baez while the Braves improved. They Fubared the Draft # 10 pick with Kumar Rocker who they didn't sign and didn't line up a high upside talent as a backup plan unlike the Angels who bypassed him at # 9. The Fans and Media are dishing it out but the Players ( Lindor who has been a massive failure & Baez who has just arrived can't handle this.) What a mess as usual. LOL
