The New York Mets have been officially eliminated from postseason contention following a loss to the Baltimore Orioles on September 11, 2026. Despite showing improvement late in the season, the team again fell short of expectations and will finish with one of the worst records among teams with high payrolls. Key injuries to players like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto and poor performance from offseason acquisitions have contributed to their disappointing season. Now, president of baseball operations David Stearns faces significant challenges as he attempts to rebuild the roster for the future.
