Steven Matz and Carlos Correa could have been Mets.
Remember how furious Steve Cohen was that Matz made a U-turn after, in the Mets’ view, he had reached agreement with them on a three-year free-agent deal following the 2021 season, and signed with the Cardinals for four years at $44 million?
We can take this one more step: If the Mets had their front office act together following the 2021 season, they would have made a much stronger play to lure manager Bob Melvin from the Athletics. Instead, the Padres acted swiftly to hire him, and the Mets ultimately landed Buck Showalter.USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con
There are still more than 3 ¹/₂ months left in the season. Perhaps the money will still rise to the top: of those five big payroll teams currently not in a playoff spot, the Padres were the furthest behind at 3 ¹/₂ games. For the Mets, maybe this will be 1973 all over again: They will stagger and stagger, but in a league beset by mediocrity, rally in the end.
