The New York Mets came into the 2025 season with huge expectations when they signed Juan Soto for a massive contract, which brought him over to Queens from Bronx.
Mets started. New York was 45-24 on June 12, one of the best items in MLB at the time, and only went 38-55 for the rest of the season to finish 83-79 after their latest crushing loss on Sunday night.

Miami Marlins knocked Mets out of the playoff battle with a 4-0 win. Miami scored four races in the fourth lap and kept New York’s bats in check for the whole game. Despite the fact that Cincinnati Reds also lost, the National League Central Team got an endgame.
“I take responsibility. I am manager. It starts with me. I have to see a long look here how I need to get better,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told journalists after the game.
New York entered the 2025 season with the second highest total payroll more than $ 341 million and the second highest active list of payroll with $ 266.6 million, according to Spotrac. Soto came to Mets from New York Yankees on a 15-year deal that is allegedly worth $ 765 million. And while the bats were hot to start the year, the team cooled as it matters.

Mets had an eight-game losing row at the worst time, starting with a series against Reds and continued through Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers Matchups. The team jumped back towards San Diego Padres and then fell two of three against Washington Nationals.
The series against Marlins was crucial, but New York was only able to draw a win out of the three matches. New York was 11-17 in August and ended 10-15 in September.
