Key Additions: Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon, Chris Young
Key Losses: Johan Santana, David Aardsma
The Mets had another year of sub-.500 ball last season. This
is something that Met fans have been becoming accustom to. Something they
aren’t used to is having a front office making smart moves. Surprisingly of
late they have made some very good front office moves. If they continue with
this trend they can be contenders in the next few years.
They traded Carlos Beltran a few years ago for Zack Wheeler and
last offseason they were able to pick up another front line starter in Noah
Syndergaard and catcher of the future Travis d’Arnaud for R.A. Dickey. Along
with those trades they have also built a decent farm system with solid draft
picks.
As far as this season goes without Matt Harvey it will still
be a rebuilding year but with an upgraded offense they wont be as bad. I would
say they have a shot to play very close to .500 baseball and could be ready to
compete next season with a decent showing in next seasons free agency.
Predicted Finish: 4th NL East
