The Mets have lost 11 consecutive games, marking the worst record in baseball. The team represents the largest media market in the country, representing the largest in New York. The Mets returned home from a road trip after a disappointing performance. Despite expectations that the team would become a formidable force, their performance has not been met with fan support. Despite a strong start to the season, the team has been out of order. The most expensive team in baseball, the most in 2024, and the highest or second-highest payroll in the sport, have been criticized for spending a lot of money. No team has ever made the postseason in a year with a 12-game losing streak.
