The New York Mets, with a $357 million cash payroll, sit in last place in the NL East and have posted the league's third-worst record. This season, revenues at Citi Field showed only a modest increase of 1.5%, contrasting with the previous year's 11.8% growth. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox turned their season around with a 15-game winning streak, which has increased attendance and ticket prices significantly. The Red Sox's next home game against the Toronto Blue Jays features a substantial rise in the get-in price due to this winning streak.
