Mets' Late-Season Collapse Continues

0:00For the New York Mets, it's March 18th and here's what's going on. The New York Mets wrapped up last season with an 83 wins 79 losses record, missing the playoffs on the final day. Despite a massive 15-year $765 million deal for Juan Soto, the team started strong, leading by more than 20 games, over 500 in June. Then everything fell apart as the Phillies pulled away with the division. The pitching staff collapsed, and the Mets couldn't recover from their second half slump, marking yet another disappointing finish. Fans and analysts are calling a classic Mets behavior, with the old saying, Mets going to MET ringing true again. The team has talent, but seems cursed by late season fades, year after year. Even with a stack roster, they just can't put it together when it counts. Questions linger about why this keeps happening, despite the high expectations. This offseason hasn't brought much relief so far, leaving Mets fans bracing for more uncertainty ahead.
