Mets' Nightmare Season: Worst Record, Lowest Scoring

0:00It's April 28th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is New York Met's News Today, AI-powered updates on your squad. The New York Met are sinking fast with the league-worst 9 wins and 19 losses tied with the Philadelphia Phillies. Even superstar Juan Soto's return from the injured list couldn't halt the slide, as the team got swept at home by the Colorado Rockies in a double-header, scoring just one run total, despite a massive payroll over $380 million dollars. Their dead last in runs, with only 92 this season. Soto didn't hold back after the losses, putting the blame squarely on the players. He said the front-off is built a strong team, and it's up to the guys on the field to deliver, defending manager Carlos Mendoza as doing a great job. Soto himself has struggled since coming back, with just three hits and 15 ad bats and no runs against the Rockies. Players like shortstop Bo Besht are feeling the heat too, looking dejected in the dugout after going hitless. Besht's batting just 233 so far, a far cry from his strong numbers last year, and news

The Met's lost 16 of their last 18 games, often scoring one run or fewer, a shocking drop for an all-star caliber roster. Mr. Steve Cohen hyped the Besht early, but the struggles continue with key pieces, like the $15 year $765 million Soto. Deal? Not paying off yet. Mendoza admits he's never seen a downfall like this, but insists job security isn't on his mind. As the team takes a day off, they face the Washington Nationals next, hoping for a reset to climb out of the basement and turn this nightmare season around.
