The unpalatable combination of a second-in-MLB payroll ($380 million), a record only two games better than MLB’s worst entering Saturday, plus inconsistent prospect performances and an unusually weak list of available free agents makes a quick return to competitiveness difficult.

Mets owner Steve Cohen told us on our Post podcast “The Show” that he’s “worried,” and I see why.
