History now says the Mets have a 0% chance to make MLB playoffs

Many suggestions have been floated that the New York Mets could buy at the deadline rather than sell. 

At 34-43 and 14 games out in the National League East, as well as the National League as a whole, playing well and them not even being close to a wild-card spot, there really doesn't make much sense to keep any current veteran players who have value outside of guys like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor on the roster.

When we look at Major League Baseball's history, it should give the Mets even more reason to move on from certain guys. 

According to one writer, the Mets are on track to be the worst team in baseball history if they were to make the playoffs. Simply put, the Mets would be doing something that has never happened in baseball history, and that doesn't seem very likely.

“Just when it seems like the Mets are showing signs of life, the boulder falls all the way back down the hill again. New York enters play on Monday at 34-43, and they'll almost certainly be worse after 81 games than any other playoff team in baseball history. The Atlanta Braves have already made the NL East a moot point, but even a Wild Card spot will require catching teams like the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates. None of those teams will be selling at the deadline, and all of them seem sturdier than the Mets are right now,” Chris Landers wrote.

Not that we have to base everything on history, but it's obvious this season isn't going as planned for the Mets, and it's better to cut our losses now than try to do something we've never seen in baseball history.
