The Mets appeared to be among the league's top sellers going into the trade deadline after a difficult start that put them a season-high 11 games below.500. But after a crushing loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, a players-only meeting set off a stunning comeback.
There's been a renewed energy around the squad thanks to the signing of veteran Jose Iglesias, special moments like his game-changing song "OMG," Grimace throwing out the opening pitch, and the adoption of a puppy named Glizzy Iggy.
Climbing the Standings
Following a productive homestand that included victories over the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals, the Mets were able to get back above.500 and into the postseason for the first time this season. Even with their advancements, the team knows that more needs to be done.
Carlos Mendoza, the manager, stated, "It's been interesting." “We’ve been through a lot, but the guys continue to battle, show up, and believe in themselves. I’m very proud of them.”
“From where we were to where we are now, there’s so much to be pleased about,” added Pete Alonso. “But obviously, there’s room to grow and improve. I’m proud of this group and how we’ve rebounded.”
Looking Ahead
The Mets, who have been on a roll lately, will probably be buyers before the trade deadline, with strengthening the bullpen being a top priority. But they understand that in order to keep up their momentum over the next few weeks, they will need to keep playing excellent baseball.
“It is a good feeling, and you have to give them credit because they’ve worked hard and there’s something special going on in that room right now," Mendoza said. "We’ll reset over the next four days and then we’ll be ready to go on Friday.”
