The New York Mets have totally revamped the building with new faces. Here’s a close look at some notable aquisitions, and what it could mean for the team.
It’s a do or die ERA of Mets baseball in Flushing, Queens, and Owner Steve Cohen is certainly aware of that. The collapse in 2022 was regrettable and certainly avoidable, as the Mets dealt away J.D Davis, a main source of run production, yet failed to recieve quality players to make up for what was traded away.
One can suggest that the Mets not being agressive enough at the trade deadline certainly cost the team. It has been said many times yet this ocurrance of a end of season collapse is not a one-time deal.
For starters, the Mets went and inked elite Closer Edwin Diaz, so Diaz and the Mets can continue the chapter. First things first, the first order of business. Diaz is locked in.
Many other moves were made, one of them being signing Japanese superstar Kodai Senga to a deal.
To top that off, adding Justin Verlander, who still is capable of respective outings with a dominant aura seemed to have fans excited.
Rightfully so. The Mets appear to be all in on pitching, recreating the 2015 masterpiece of a pitching rotation that led to a World Series appearance.
Senga and Verlander, paired with the rest of the rotation is a clean look.
Pitching does win games, contrary to popular belief. Suggesting the lack of run support is why the Mets lost games is a valid argument. The bats get cold, but if the pitching is weak, its so easy to lose your focus offensively.
In the grand scheme of things, the Mets went out and bought themselves some talent. Money buys championships. Need i say more?
