Breaking News: New York Mets Right fielder J. D. Martinez just summitted his resignation letter to the management.
The New York Mets entered Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers at 22-30, a whopping 14.5 games back of the first-place Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East.
The Mets have had two different losing streaks of five games, including this past week, when they were swept by the Cleveland Guardians and lost two of three games to the San Francisco Giants.
If all that isn’t bad enough, superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor was asked a simple question last week when he was back in Cleveland, the team that surprisingly traded him to the Mets in 2021.
Lindor was asked what he misses most about Cleveland, and appeared to take a shot at New York while answering the question.
“Winning. There’s nothing better than winning,” Lindor said to reporters.
“I know we didn’t finish the ultimate goal.
We didn’t close it out (Cleveland lost to the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series) but just the experiences of winning and pouring champagne on each other and creating memories that way with teammates, their families, our whole entire family front office.
It was a great experience and seeing the crowd, how they got behind us with the rally towels and when it was all red and all white, it was pretty cool.”
