Mets in real danger of missing the playoffs: it would be a catastrophe

Will the Mets really miss the playoffs?

The way things are shaping up right now, there's a good chance the New York outfit won't be able to make the playoffs in 2025.

Who would have thought it after the signing of Juan Soto?

As of this morning, the Mets (3-7 in their last 10 duels) are just two games ahead of the Reds and Giants. And the Reds have the tie-breaking advantage over the Metropolitans…

So, what does this mean?

It means that the Mets, who signed Juan Soto in the off-season, might not make the playoffs – despite their huge payroll – after reaching the Final Four last year.

A catastrophe, you say? Of course it would.

According to Ken Rosenthal, should the Mets fail to make the playoffs, it would be one of the most disappointing seasons in the history of Major League Baseball. And he's right!

We agree that the Mets' problem is in the club's rotation. That's why, as of June 13, the Mets are one of the five worst clubs in the entire MLB.

As of June 12, the Mets were at the top of their division, their league and Major League Baseball in general. The change is drastic.

There's a reason so many youngsters are getting their shot in the Mets' rotation right now: quality pitchers aren't plentiful in the rotation. This could hurt in the playoffs.

Colleague Sébastien Berrouard has often said that the Mets don't have a good rotation. He was right about this one for once.
