New York Mets fans remember the end of the 2015 season like it was yesterday, with the bitter taste of a sloppy defeat still fresh in their mouths.
After the Mets all but handed the 2015 World Series to the Kansas City Royals, management did very little to improve the team.
The acquisitions of Neil Walker and Asdrubal Cabrera provided the Mets with a marginal upgrade up the middle, however, the Mets still entered the season with question marks, especially in the bullpen.
As the 2016 season progressed, while, granted, there were many key injuries, it was clear that the core of the Mets team was flawed.
