OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread

[RuBird]

Worse year Senga or Jorge?

Senga has looked OK for limited innings. Polonco I am waiting on anything good to happen.

Can’t say it enough- forget who left the team- trade or FA.
Robert Jr./Peralta/Polanco/Bichette/Williams/Semien

the best of the group is a bad fielder will get 80 rbi with no power or speed and is $42 Mil per year.

Has there ever been a worse off season for any HM ever.
Our 6 biggest moves and all 6 are disasters

Senga has an 0-8 record and an ERA at 8.66.
Teams will be lining up for his services.

You are right of course. But if the Mets DFA'd Senga today, somebody would sign him tomorrow (on the Mets' dime of course). Whenever a player who has had success is available for free, there's always a GM who thinks he can fix him.

Can't argue with that. I wouldn't use the word "disasters" for all, but they all have underperformed expectations. Nobody expected Stearns to go 6 for 6, but nobody expected 0 for 6 either.

For so many vets to underperform their regular numbers is pretty wild. This is certainly a drain where basically mostly everything that could go wrong has which I know no one wants to hear this, bad luck.

I do think there's a lot of lessons to be learned which in the long run could be a good thing. I also think the upcoming CBA played a big part in what was going on with the way the team was structured since there's going to be so much uncertainty after this year in regards to payroll which hurt us in some areas.

Also think lack of clubhouse leadership and canning all the coaches played a part. Team seems rudderless.
