The New York Mets are regarded as the worst team in all of baseball. They are ranking just about everywhere as the last place team in Major League Baseball, and it is for good reason.
A 12-game losing streak is going to sink your season. Throughout the vast and long history of the MLB, no team has ever made it to the playoffs following anything more than a 10-game losing streak.
These Mets are cooked, and there is still a long season to go. Jorge Castillo of ESPN named this losing streak as one of the many low points of this 2026 campaign.
The losing streak is over, and the Mets now reside with a record of 11-22. They are 12.5 games back of the Atlanta Braves. Now, a 12-game win streak gets them back in contention, but seeing how things are going, that is going to be a seriously hard feat to do.
Right fielder Juan Soto has been named as this team's Most Valuable Player, and he is the only hope for this team rising from the borrow. The Mets are paying him more money than anyone else in the baseball world, so it is only fitting for him to lead the charge.
They have two very winnable series ahead of them to try and get back in the race. The Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks. Each have had good seasons and are in it to win it in that highly competitive NL West, but they are beatable.
The Mets just have to worry about not beating themselves out of wins anymore. It is going to take a complete team effort, but wins are going to have to come by working together.
