Where did it all go wrong for the New York Mets? Was it the moment when Kodai Senga went down with an injury in the middle of a game on June 12? Was it when they brought Alex Carrillo in as their first reliever of the second half and let him get pounded for far too long? There isn’t a singular moment where we can directly point and say that was the declarative second the Mets were about to go down the toilet.
The MLB trade deadline results certainly deserve blame. Individual performances are easy to measure and question.
