The New York Mets, under owner Steve Cohen, have committed over $300 million to their payroll and aim to compete with teams like the Dodgers. In 2024, they finished at 89-73, securing their second playoff spot in four years, albeit not winning their division. After a rough start where they were 11 games under .500, the Mets rallied to improve their finish thanks to better pitching and strong offensive performances. Their success, however, raises questions about whether financial investments will continue to yield playoff success compared to other big-spending teams.
While many Mets fans might be disappointed with a second playoff appearance in four years, their 89-73 record marks a significant improvement over the previous season.
Under Cohen, the Mets have moved from a 75-87 record to 89-73, vastly exceeding preseason projections despite a rocky start to the 2024 season.
The Mets struggled initially, but improved their pitching and leveraged strong hitting to turn around their season, finishing with a solid playoff berth.
