Mets Suffer $340 Million Collapse, Miss Playoffs in Stunning Loss

UPDATE: The New York Mets have officially missed the playoffs after a shocking 4-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on September 27, 2025. With postseason aspirations dashed, this marks one of the most significant collapses in sports history, jeopardizing a franchise built on a staggering $340 million payroll.

This loss, confirmed just moments ago, extinguishes the Mets’ hopes to participate in October baseball. The team entered loanDepot Park needing a win and a favor from the Milwaukee Brewers, who were playing against the Cincinnati Reds. Instead, the Mets will head home, leaving fans and analysts questioning how a team with such high expectations could falter so dramatically.

Just three weeks ago, on September 8, the Mets were riding high with a 92.2% chance to make the playoffs, holding a four-game lead over the Reds. However, a catastrophic decline saw them win only 38 of their last 93 games, a record that left them among the league’s worst.

The Mets started their season strong, boasting the best record in baseball at 45-24 on June 13. Yet injuries, poor performances, and a series of disappointing outcomes led to their downfall. Star pitcher Kodai Senga suffered a hamstring injury that derailed his season, and the bullpen’s repeated failures became a recurring theme.

In a testament to their struggles, the Mets lost to the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game sweep in late June, marking the beginning of a downward spiral that would see them finish the season with a 83-79 record.

“We failed the job. We failed the mission. It was on the players, it was on me, to get the job done, and we didn’t get it done,”

said Francisco Lindor, encapsulating the disappointment felt throughout the organization.

The Mets’ season ended in a familiar fashion, with Francisco Lindor hitting into a game-ending double play. This is the third time since 2007 that the Mets’ playoff hopes have evaporated on the final day of the regular season, this time with a team that had reached the NLCS the previous year.

Looking ahead, the Reds will advance to a three-game wild card series against the Los Angeles Dodgers starting on Tuesday, while the Mets face a long offseason filled with questions and scrutiny. With a roster filled with talent, including recent signing Juan Soto, fans and analysts alike are left wondering how a team with such potential could fall so short.

This collapse not only impacts the current roster but also raises concerns about the future direction of the franchise under owner Steve Cohen, who had anticipated a championship run upon acquiring the team.

Stay tuned for ongoing updates as the fallout from this historic collapse unfolds. The Mets’ journey through the offseason will be closely watched by fans and sports analysts around the world.
