The Mets, currently 7-9, are not alone in their struggles, as several playoff hopefuls, including the Blue Jays and Cubs, also face losing records early in the season. Manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledges a rough start but expresses confidence in the team’s potential, despite concerns over inconsistent pitching and offensive pressure. Injuries to key players like Juan Soto and Jorge Polanco further complicate matters, leading to lineup adjustments. However, the Mets must prove they are distinct from last year’s disappointing squad to regain fan trust and avoid repeating past failures.
