Adam Schein, the New York Post host, has criticized the Mets' president of baseball operations, David Stearns, for creating an "atrocious" roster. He compared the team's performance to that of the 1962 Mets, which lost a record 120 games that year. Schein also highlighted the lack of success from the Mets’ pitching staff despite their large payroll. Despite the team’s poor start, manager Carlos Mendoza remains in place despite the team having lost 15 of 18 games.
