The feeling around the 2024 New York Mets was that the lineup would be their strongpoint, with the pitching be more of the question mark. When J.D. Martinez was signed at the end of March, that belief was even furthered. But, it has not really played out that way, as the team’s offensive production has been up and down through 38 games. The Mets have gone through stretches where their big...

The only ounce of offense for the Mets came on J.D. Martinez hitting his first home run of the season...
