Overview

• New York finished 83-79 after falling in Miami, missing the postseason despite a Reds loss that left a win-and-in path open on the final day.
• The club went from an MLB-best 45-24 on June 12 to a 38-55 finish, including an 0-70 mark when trailing after eight innings.
• Juan Soto called the season a failure yet said he is 100 percent confident in the team’s future after a standout first year in Queens.
• Carlos Mendoza took responsibility for the collapse, and reporting indicates the Mets do not plan to fire him, with widespread coaching changes expected.
• Injuries and underperformance on the pitching staff and flopped deadline additions fueled the decline, drawing sharp scrutiny of David Stearns’ roster moves.
