Mets’ Seven-Game Slide Imperils Wild-Card Hold

Owner Steve Cohen publicly reaffirmed his belief in a turnaround, with president David Stearns open to roster moves to shore up the pitching staff.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 04: Juan Soto #22 of the New York Mets scores a run during the third inning ahead of the throw to J.C. Escarra #25 of the New York Yankees at Citi Field on July 04, 2025 in New York City.

Overview

  • New York has dropped seven straight games and 11 of 12, falling to 63–55 and clinging to the final National League wild-card spot by roughly two games.
  • Starters have averaged fewer than five innings per outing in the skid, forcing an overtaxed bullpen into high-leverage roles and contributing to late-game breakdowns.
  • Steve Cohen sent a public text declaring that he still believes in the team and plans to attend the next three home games at Citi Field to support the Mets.
  • David Stearns said the front office “wouldn’t close the door on anything” as September’s roster flexibility approaches, signaling readiness for potential acquisitions.
  • The Mets open a six-game homestand Wednesday against the Braves, looking to halt their slide and stabilize their postseason positioning.
