Yeah, the lowest payroll. You bought crap is what you bought. You bought a total loser mentality.”When I attached the amount of money to what they’re making to what they put forth this year, it is the worst sporting disappointment in the history of professional sports because of the money that is invested and because the Mets set an attendance record on top of it. They embarrassed their fan base.”Mets owner Steve Cohen issues apology to fans after failed seasonThe Mets were knocked out of the postseason by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS last season.

We will do a post-mortem and figure out the obvious and less obvious reasons why the team didn’t perform up to your and my expectations.“We are all feeling raw emotions today. I know how much time and effort you have put into this team. The result was unacceptable. Your emotions tell me how much you care and continues to motivate the organization to do better. Thank You to the best fans in sports.”The rebuild for the Mets starts now, especially with the news of All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso opting out of his contract to become a free agent for a second time in a year.
