At the start of this season, the New York Mets led the league in payroll with $344 million. The New York Yankees were second with $279 million.
Before the season, New York fans were hoping for a “subway series,” where the two teams would meet in the World Series.
But that hope turned to despair. Neither team would win a wild card, let alone the World Series. While it’s still mathematically possible, both teams have thrown in the towel.
The Mets are still in fourth place in the National League East with 56 wins and 66 losses as of Aug. 18. They are battling the Washington Nationals for the last place. They are a whopping 24 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves. They’re seven games out of the final wild-card spot. With 40 games to go, catching up is virtually impossible.카지노사이트
