Summary
We’re nearly one fourth of the way through the 2022 MLB season, and after a devastating finish last year, one of the best teams in baseball so far this year has been the National League East-leading New York Mets. Today, The Athletic’s Rustin Dodd tells us about some of the key factors that have powered the Mets’ renaissance, including a box of T-shirts, a squirrel, and big-spending billionaire owner Steve Cohen. But, with injuries mounting and memories still fresh from last year, are these good vibes built to last for Buck Showalter’s team?
