Critical mistakes in the field is what has really cost them on a handful of occasions, giving opponents additional opportunities to score. That was on full display in the...
The 2024 New York Mets were expected to be a better defensive ballclub. Owner Steve Cohen even expressed how they gave teams extra outs in 2023.
