I mean team is going to be terrible so why should they spend $ this offseason?

They had a 150M+ payroll to start this season so its not surprising that they will go with low payroll as they suck and try to rebuild

No team spends big $ during rebuilding

They will likely look in bargain/clearance market in FA

More vets like Pham/DeJong who they would then likely flip in season for some longshot prospect and hope they can find a reclamation project like Fedde who they can then flip as well

Though as seen with horrid returns on Cease/Fedde/etc trades, Getz is terrible GM

I'm just not a fan of teams in large markets being cheap

The worst team of the modern era stuff is suddenly in doubt. 2 straight wins and they are up 3-0 tonight as they go win for #36 with still 5 more games against the hapless Angels. In my view, going 40-122 gets them off the hook since they would tie the 1962 Mets in wins.

I’d agree at 41-121. But 40-122 is objectively worse than 40-120, and also sets a new losses mark.

At this point they might as well lose all the remaining games, make it nearly impossible for any teams to break their "record" in the future, at least break the Mets mark by a few games

120 Ls is absolutely insane. I thought the early 2010s Astros were terrible but this is a whole new level of suckage and I watched those teams lose 426 games over a 4 year period. Granted that was an intentional scorched earth rebuild and tank that was given the greenlight by ownership.

Hopefully you all follow our path and be a a contender in a few years.

Now is where the real fun begins. Six games to go. One more loss breaks the record for most losses. Two more losses guarantees them a worse record than the ‘62 Mets. Three more losses guarantees they won’t hit 40 wins. Four more losses gives them the lowest winning percentage in 125 years.

As a kid I always wondered what it was like for people to witness that Mets team.

I thought the shockingly awful 2018 was going to be low point for franchise. Would never have thought they would fall as far as they are now

For decades as a fan the worst Sox usually ended up was being a slightly below .500 club and disappointing

Seriously between 1990 (My first game as kid and When I got into baseball) and 2012 they only finished below .500 mark 7 times

Sox were a model of consistently competitive but disappointing franchise

tomorrow we'll either see the sox set the record for most losses in the modern era or the angels set the franchise record for most losses in a season

sox look like they're going to sweep the pathetic angels (who will set their own franchise record for most losses in a season today)
