## Resource

The New York Mets’ 2025 season ends in disappointment, a 4–0 loss to the Miami Marlins on the final day of the regular season eliminates them from playoff contention. With a $340 million payroll and championship expectations, the Mets collapse will go down as one of the most frustrating failures in franchise history. Dexter Henry is joined by ESPN NY Radio host Tyriq Butler to break down: - How the Mets blew it down the stretch - Who deserves the blame: players, David Stearns, or Carlos Mendoza - The staggering 0–70 stat when trailing after the 8th inning - Pete Alonso’s opt-out and what it means for the Mets’ future - What changes must happen this offseason to restore fan trust
