Requiem for the 2023 New York Mets

Only four posts with the label 'Mets' this year. That says it all. 

As a Met fan, I'm always waiting to hear bad news. More bad news. Today it was that Buck Showalter will not continue with the Mets. I understand it on one level, but on another level, it hurts. 

Pre-season Jacob deGrom signed with the Texas Rangers. But then the Mets signed Justin Verlander. That seemed the cure. Then Edwin Diaz was down with a season ending injury. Later Verlander was injured. 

Then the Mets sucked. I don't want to analyze the season and try to figure out when the Mets first messed up and how. I just knew things were bad. The Mets couldn't win. And didn't.

Steve Cohen cut his losses at the trading deadline: Robertson, Scherzer, Verlander, Canna, Pham were traded. The Mets now have prospects. 

Wait until next year. That's all we have to do.
