The Mets are now eighth on a list every club is determined to escape.
since forming in 1961 as the Washington Senators, there are just seven teams that have gone longer without a title than the Mets, who last won in 1986:
In the past 10 seasons, the Mets have been pushed down the list by the 2014 Giants , 2015 Royals , the 2016 Cubs , the 2017 Astros , the 2019 Nationals and now the Rangers. The Mets are not ready to hear chants like another Rangers team once did , but it is 37 years and counting. Also, the Mariners and Blue Jays stand out as teams that underperform their talent base — as if there is something imperfect with the cultures. The Mariners have made the playoffs just once since 2001. They are another team that needs urgency to capitalize on a “now” rotation.They are in a troubling middle ground of having to go for it because of their investments and yet having to retrench due to their investments.
Plus, this is another place in which the culture is in question, with the discord between GM A.J. Preller and manager Bob Melvin leading to Melvin’s exit to the Giants, and real questions about clubhouse unity. Lots of talent here. Lots of issues.If you see Cleveland rising, it is for two reasons — infrastructure and division. The AL Central will likely remain the weakest division in 2024.
