How will the New York Mets be affected by MLB’s proposed short season?

On Monday, MLB owners came to an agreement on a plan to start the season. The plan would see teams play games against teams in their division and against their American League counterparts. That means the New York Mets would play the NL East and the AL East.

The new proposal would also bring a universal DH. Reports from the offseason were that the universal DH could be on its way by 2021, but now it could be here sooner. That could have ripple effects across the league.

Most importantly though, the plan is for teams to play around 80 games in 2019 with seven teams per league making the postseason.
