New York Mets getting older while teams around them get younger
The toughest part about seeing the New York Mets lose with older players is watching as the teams around them win with young ones.
This past Sunday, the New York Yankees celebrated their annual Old-Timer’s Day where players from the past return to the field for an exhibition game. Over in Arizona, the New York Mets had their own Old-Timer’s Day. Unfortunately, this game counted.
The Mets aren’t so much an older team as much as they are one that doesn’t have too many young stars. Even several of their greener players like Michael Conforto and Brandon Nimmo have already turned 25.
