Ahead of the 2022 season, the rich team New York Mets spent $258 million acquiring pitcher Max Scherzer and others. Thanks to that, I got 101 wins. But they failed to win the World Series.
So the Mets made more aggressive investments ahead of this season.스포츠토토
Closer Edwin Diaz (5 years, $102 million), starting pitcher Justin Verlander (2 years, $86.66 million), lefty Jose Quintana (2 years, $26 million), outfielder Brandon Nemo (8 years) 162 million dollars) and Japanese pitcher Senga Godai (5 years, 75 million dollars).
However, the record as of the 12th (Korean time) is 31 wins and 35 losses, and the winning rate is less than 50%. They are already 9.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves, who are in first place in the National League East Division.
With these results, it is not easy to get a wild card, let alone win the district championship.
They are investing a huge amount of money aiming to win the World Series, but in reality, they are ‘pouring water into a bottomless pit’.
Accordingly, it is news that owner Steve Cohen is on the verge of anger.
MLBTR said, “Cohen is frustrated by his poor performance, but he is not responding outwardly.”
It is said that even though he recruited Gistin Verlander and possessed the best one-two punch in the major leagues along with Scherzer, he is getting angry when his grades hit rock bottom. Verlander came to the mound late due to an injury. Unlike last season, it is sluggish with an average ERA of 4.85. Scherzer is recording an uncharacteristic 3.71 earned run average, creating a cluttered atmosphere, such as being suspended from business trips for using prohibited substances.
However, you cannot sack the general manager or manager during the season. Because there is no suitable substitute.
As always, the Mets are expected to strengthen his power with a trade this year.
