President Donald Trump recently criticized the New York Mets, stating that they have the highest salary in baseball but consistently lose. Trump made the comment while praising Braves Development Company CEO Mike Plant, suggesting that the Mets should consider hiring him.
Mets’ Struggling Season
The Mets are on pace to lose 95 games, which would be their most since 2003. Despite having a high payroll, the team has not performed well, with players such as Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor not meeting expectations.
The Mets have made significant changes to their roster, including trading Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo, and bringing in new players like Jorge Polanco and Luis Robert. However, these changes have not led to improved performance, with the team ranking 27th in batting average and 26th in runs scored.
