The Padres are officially set to face the Chicago Cubs in a best of three at Wrigley Field starting Tuesday. But it is never too early to look ahead at the offseason, as massive news broke at the conclusion of Sunday’s game which featured the New York Mets and Miami Marlins.
The Mets completed one of the biggest collapses we have seen in recent memory, as on June 12 they were 45-24, holding onto the league's best record. Fast forward to Sunday, they dropped the series finale to Miami, and were eliminated from playoff contention.
There was lots of drama leading up to this season for Pete Alonso and the Mets front office, as the two sides were unable to agree to a long-term contract.
