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.
