Summary
The 2026 Mets are in freefall compared to their 1986 glory days, as legends Keith Hernandez and Darryl Strawberry dissect a season marred by injuries, shaky pitching, and underwhelming new signings. Key stars like Lindor, Soto, and Polanco have missed time, and even when healthy, Lindor’s slump and fielding errors have frustrated fans—though Strawberry insists he’s just recovering from setbacks. With Holmes and Robert still out and Bo Bichette’s slow start, the offense is struggling without Alonso’s power. The Mets may trade expiring deals to rebuild, eyeing young outfielders and pitchers like Ewing, Benge, and McLean—but with no clear path forward, the future feels uncertain.
