Mets News

The New York Mets' downward spiral continues as they were swept by the Chicago Cubs, concluding a nightmarish series at Citi Field with a 4-3 loss. The Mets left a staggering 14 runners on base, a new season low, while their defense remained alarmingly error-prone, tallying two costly mistakes that contributed to their sixth straight defeat. This week has been brutal, with the Mets now at 1-6 over their last seven games and a run differential of -36. Adding to the tumult, the club has traded David Peterson to the Cubs, signaling a desperate shakeup amid ongoing struggles. With Kodai Senga shifting to the bullpen after a disappointing season, the Mets find themselves searching for answers as they face a grim stretch ahead. The frustration is palpable, and the fans deserve better.
