The Mets have been among the five worst teams in MLB over the past calendar year and sit 15 games under .500 in 2026. A managerial change has already occurred, and owner Steve Cohen has ruled out a front office overhaul. The team traded starter David Peterson to the Cubs for prospect Cole Mathis last week, going 2-5 since. Further trades are considered likely barring a dramatic turnaround in July.
