The New York Mets have made improvements during the offseason, most of the players look healthy, and fans are excited for this promising season to begin. Even the rest of the baseball world is expecting the Mets to be a playoff team in 2020.
Things appear to be going great for the Mets. Still, it’s important to recognize their most glaring weakness: the defense.
The Mets haven’t been a decent defensive team in years, and it’s been getting worse. They have had a cumulative DRS of -93 since 2015, which is good for second-worst in all of MLB behind only the Baltimore Orioles’ -105.
