Thank you all for your support in 2025 🧡💙
In stark contrast to their magical season one year ago, 2025 was an incredibly challenging season for the New York Mets.
A season that started with such promise and energy after an NLCS run last season and as exciting an offseason we’ve ever had with the record signing of Juan Soto and reunions with Pete Alonso and Sean Manaea, among other moves, ended in colossal disappointment.
Owner Steve Cohen challenged Mets fans to come out in droves this season after finishing middle-of-the-pack in attendance last year, and you all delivered. In 2025, the Mets broke their single-season Citi Field attendance record as 3,182,057 fans walked through the gates.
Unfortunately the fans were not ultimately rewarded for that loyalty with the product on the field as New York’s season ended in a slow motion three-month wreck, culminating in a Game 162 loss this past weekend to officially eliminate them from playoff contention.
The Mets will once again enter this offseason facing a lot of uncertainty as this organization will need to do some serious soul searching to figure out what went wrong these past several months, why this team was ultimately lesser than the sum of their parts, and how they can avoid such a letdown in 2026. While figures like David Stearns, Carlos Mendoza, Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto are assured to stick around, this is a team that may look dramatically different by the time we sit down to watch their first Spring Training game several months from now.
Will Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz be back? Will the front office finally break up the team’s core? Is this the offseason they finally go out and find an ace?
Difficult decisions will need to be made in regards to this roster and coaching staff, but that will likely be what is necessary if this franchise wants to vault themselves into that next tier of being legitimate championship contenders.
There will be so much time to ask these questions, analyze and react to everything that happens in these coming fall and winter months, but for now it’s time for all of us to rest and reboot.
As we do at the end of each season, we all wanted to take this opportunity to thank you – all of our readers – for supporting us in 2025. This was undoubtedly the most successful season we’ve had since rebooting Just Mets at the tail end of 2021, as we not only once again surpassed our yearly record for views but expanded to offer the best fans in baseball even more ways to consume our content.
In addition to our daily newsletters and breaking news reactions year-round, we also added new exclusive offerings for our paid supporters featuring The Just Mets Podcast – where we had guest co-hosts such as Trevor May, Jon Morosi, Will Sammon, Laura Albanese and more – as well as bonus, in-depth articles.
The support that you have all shown us in regards to that new tier of content has made us incredibly grateful, and has only invigorated us to continue to improve upon them and offer you even more great content moving forward.
At the end of the day, your support all tells us that what we do matters here and we are forever grateful for your loyalty and support of this thing we’ve got going here. We hope you have enjoyed reading our work on a daily basis, and will continue to do so as we move ahead into the offseason and into 2026.
For now, our writing team will be taking our yearly break during the remainder of this postseason, though you can expect to still see the occasional post from us in the next few weeks to keep the lights on. We will be back in full as free agency begins at the start of November, so stay tuned for that…
Until then rest up, keep the faith and LFGM 🍎
