Meanwhile, Jorge Polanco has raised concerns once again. Although an MRI ruled out serious damage, his Achilles tendon discomfort persists and could send him to the injured list, worsening the team’s situation. Manager Carlos Mendoza has made it clear: ‘the team must respond quickly if it wants to turn things around‘.

What do the Mets need to get out of this crisis?

They need to get their key players back and urgently improve their offensive production. The outlook remains uncertain, but the team’s talent still leaves the door open for a potential comeback.
