Spotrac reports the Mets’ total payroll for the 2025 season is approximately $339.42 million, placing them second highest in MLB payrolls this year. Crazy when consider the product.
McLean is the first Mets pitcher to pitch at least 5 scoreless innings in his major league debut since Zach Wheeler did it 12 years ago. If McLean turns out to be as good as Wheeler is, hopefully it won't be for another team, the way it turned out with Wheeler.
Totally aside from the game, all of the "kid stuff" surrounding this broadcast is absolutely insufferable.
Two in a row! Mets are blazing! Hopefully Alvarez didn't mess up his other thumb on the slide at second.
That would be my prediction. The Mets are very bad at keeping their own pitchers. This issue has been plaguing them for decades. Develop pitchers, trade them or let them walk, become all stars for another team. Everyone knew Seth Lugo was going to be great, I can't believe they let him walk.
Carlos Mendoza says Francisco Alvarez needs surgery for his right thumb UCL injury and the Mets are talking to multiple doctors "There's players in the past that can play through this. That's why we're giving it a chance" Yeah, he’s season is done one would think.
Lose two out of three to the third-worst team in baseball. Shitty starting pitching, shitty relief pitching, shitty hitting with runners in scoring position, over and over and over and over ... Just pathetic.
