## Resource

The Mets are facing a brutal financial reckoning after blowing past the luxury tax threshold again—nearly $370 million—and could face penalties that cripple their draft picks and international signings. While stars like Juan Soto dominate with league-leading OPS, others like Francisco Lindor, still recovering from injury, aren’t delivering. The front office, led by David Stearns, has options to save money—declining club options and arbitration—potentially freeing up $38 million. But to truly reset their financial clock, they may need to let go of key players, even taking salary hits, to build a more sustainable future—even if it means a weaker roster now.
