Mets Struggle, Fans Fume: Stay the Course?

0:00It's April 21st. This is New York Met's news-to-day team news powered by AI. The New York Met's are off to a rough start this season, sitting at 7 wins and 15 losses, the worst record in baseball. They've dropped 11 games in a row, matching their longest skid since 2004, and they're already 8 games back in the national. League East. Offseason move shook up the roster big time, with the front office shipping out stars like Peter Lanzo, Brandon Nemo, and Jeff McNeil for New Blood. Like Marcus Simeon, Boba Shet, A. Luis Robert Jr., and Jorge Palanco. So far, those additions are struggling, Simeon's hitting just 234, but Shet 217, Robert Jr. 257, but with little. Power and Palanco, 179. Fans are frustrated in the offense ranks near the bottom of the league, but the advice from rivals is clear, don't fire manager Carlos Mendoza or make rash changes this early.

1:00Point the finger at those bulltrades instead, which ditched familiar faces for high upside outsiders who need time to gel in the clubhouse. It's only 22 games into a 162 game grind, and the plan from GM David Stern's eyes the long haul like shedding Nemo's. Back for Simeon's shorter, more flexible deal that fits around Juan Soto down the line. Be shet and Robert have franchise potential, and Palanco could shine with smart positioning. Upcoming series against the twins, Rockies, and Nationals offer a real shot to flip the script. If they win, the noise dies down, if not, pressure builds. So for now, the meds are right to stay the course and let this rebuild breathe.
