$364 million. Let that sink in. By far the largest payroll in the history of Baseball.

And for what? A losing team so bad the were out of it by July.

This was by and far the biggest disappointment of the year.
Padres a distant second, not even sure you could include the Yankees because all the die hard fans knew they sucked going into the past two seasons so we expected missing the playoffs, or at least we weren't surprised when they did.

But the Mets? If you spend $364 million you better waltz into the playoffs.

It seems from the players that left the biggest problem is that they don't work hard. Certainly looks that way from the outside.
Lindor is the face of the franchise and he hasn't made an All-star game since they got him. Who cares about his 30-30. Totally meaningless since most of the games he built up those stats didn't count.

Lost a lot of interest in professional sports years ago when as you state, many players got lazy, and imho, are jist in it for the money—

Curious to know though- In professional baseball, what team had the lowest payroll that made it too, or won the Series?

It doesn't matter how much money you make.
People don't like to lose.

That's not good for the Mets though. Boras will just get the highest deal even if it means going to a non contender.

Mets should just trade him now and avoid the distraction.
