This team looks identical to last year with maybe a better lineup and worse starting pitching.

The New York Mets have not been able to contact Yoenis Cespedes, who did not report to Truist Park for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves, according to general manager Brodie Van Wagenen.
"He did not reach out to management with any explanation for his absence," Van Wagenen said in a statement. "Our attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful."

Sources: Jeff McNeil’s knee X-ray is negative, so the hope is it’s just a bad bruise. Will go for MRI to confirm though. McNeil, the heart of the team, made a run-saving catch while diving into the wall in 1st inning.— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 13, 2020

Indeed. Unrelated, but I love seeing guys get a save by closing out a game with a 17 run lead. And wasn't there a save awarded in Atlanta's 29-run game too?
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 12 September 2020 12:01 (three years ago) link
saves have to be a 3 run lead or less, i think
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 12 September 2020 19:09 (three years ago) link
oh wait, there are other ways to get a save:
A relief pitcher recording a save must preserve his team's lead while doing one of the following: Enter the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitch at least one inning. Enter the game with the tying run in the on-deck circle, at the plate or on the bases. Pitch at least three innings.
always forget about the "pitch at least 3 innings" version of the save

Heard the #Mets sold for more than the $2.35B that has been reported. It is for between $2.4B and $2.45B. The previous record for a North American sports team was the $2.275B that the Panthers were sold for to another hedge fund billionaire, David Tepper.— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) September 14, 2020
― mookieproof, Monday, 14 September 2020 21:33 (three years ago) link
difference between $2.35B and $2.45B, alone, is $100M.
that's enough to pay each mets minor leaguer $66,666.66 per year for five years (assuming they have 300 minor leaguers).

The Mets will make the playoffs if:-They win all three of their remaining gamesAND-The Giants lose both of theirsAND-The Phillies lose both of theirsAND-The Brewers lose at least one of theirsEstimated chance of all that happening, per Fangraphs: 1.1 percent.— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) September 26, 2020
