In what seemed to be a promising season in the first half, the New York Mets have collapsed in the second half and will miss the playoffs. There are many reasons for that. Things like injuries, poor decisions by Luis Rojas, and a lack of timely hitting all come to mind.
To me, the biggest reason the Mets will be home in October has to do with players who underperformed.
In my opinion, the MVP of the 2020 Mets was Dom Smith. He slashed .316/.377/.616 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI. I expected him to be a key contributor to a really good offense this season with a full-time role in left field.
