One terrible decision after another from high up has boxed in Mets options today and moving forward for the forseeable future. Currently the worst hitting team in MLB and the worst farm system for home grown talent. Continuously trading away fan favorites and current achieving players for aging and injured players past their prime or for low-level prospects who may or may not ever play in the majors. The only thing that will turn the Mets around is for the owners and managers to change. 2019 will be worse than 2018 for sure (no way do the Mets start the season 11-0 in 2019). And good luck filling seats at Citi Field to pay for all those inflated salaries. Mets may have to firesale DeGrom, Syndergaard and Wheeler in 2019 to meet its money obligations and end up with an even worse team than the 1962 Mets. It’s going to get much worse before it gets better. Mets are destined to become the laughingstock of MLB.
