The New York Mets, run by Steve Cohen, the richest Major League owner, eventually failed to make the fall baseball stage.

The Mets were completely defeated 0-4 in an away game against the Miami Marlins at Rondipo Park on the 29th (Korea time), missing even the last string of hope.

The Mets, who finished the three consecutive games against Miami with one win and two losses, finished the season with 83 wins and 79 losses, second in the NL East, and fourth in the wild card.




The Cincinnati Reds, who competed for third place in the wild card, knelt 2-4 against the Milwaukee Brewers on the same day to achieve the same performance as the Mets, but secured the tiebreaker with a 4-2 record against the season, so they won the last remaining fall baseball ticket. For Mets fans, if they won the final match, they could have advanced to the postseason for the second consecutive year, so it was a great disappointment.

Cincinnati will have a best-of-three wild card series with the NL West winner LA Dodgers at Dodger Stadium from October 1.

Mets batters were completely overwhelmed by Miami pitchers such as starting pitcher Edward Cabrera with five hits and no runs, destroying their pride in the final game of the season. The Mets pitched eight pitchers on the mound, but three pitchers failed to overcome the crisis in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Cincinnati scored the first run in the bottom of the fourth inning when 0-0 was followed by Connor Novi's left-handed hit, followed by Eric Wagaman hitting right-hander Line Stanek with a double to left-center. Brian Navaretto added a point by hitting a double in the middle with two outs and a runner on second base, and Javier Sanoha's triple on the left-field line and Jabier Edwards' heavy hit made a 4-0 run while the Mets changed the pitcher to Tyler Rogers.

In the top of the third inning, Juan Soto's double play came out with one out and runners on first and second bases, one out in the fourth inning, two outs in the fifth inning, one out in the sixth inning, two out in the seventh inning, one out and runners on first and second in the eighth inning, and no outs in the ninth inning, showing limitations in concentration.

The Mets are among the clubs that spent the most money on the team this season. The opening payroll ranked first overall with $323 million, and the 40-man roster payroll, which is subject to luxury tax, ranks second after the Dodgers with $341.6 million. In particular, Soto, the biggest fish in the FA market history, was recruited for 15 years and 765 million dollars last winter, expressing his desire and will to win.




However, he couldn't stop his roller coaster move and experienced the pain of falling from the front of the earth to fourth place as a wild card. The Mets maintained their 5.5-game East lead with 45 wins and 24 losses until June 13, and at the end of July, they won seven consecutive games and still maintained their global lead with 62 wins and 44 losses, inflating expectations that they would never be eliminated.

However, immediately after that, it collapsed with four consecutive losses, seven consecutive losses, and three consecutive losses, and eight consecutive losses on September 7-14.

The Mets' fall in the second half was also caused by mound anxiety. The team's ERA (4.74) in the second half was 25th overall. Compared to the average score (5.23) in the second half of the year, it is evaluated that the team failed to construct its power.

The lack of proper selection revealed limitations in the second half. Frankie Montas and Sean Mariania, who signed as FA, 'ghost folk ball'Senga Godai have struggled all season with injuries.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, who reached the postseason as a wild card last year and advanced to the League Championship Series, is expected to leave the baton to him until next year. Local media outlet SNY reporter Andy Mitino said the Mets never plan to fire Carlos Mendoza despite the fall of this season.

However, Mets fans and New York media are strongly insisting on Mendoza's replacement.
