The 2024 New York Mets season is the 63rd season of the New York Mets of Major League Baseball, their 16th at Citi Field, and their fourth under majority owner Steve Cohen.

Coinciding with his birthday month, the McDonald's character Grimace threw the first pitch for the Mets wearing the team's purple City Connect cap preceding a June 12 game against the Miami Marlins.[1] The team went on to achieve a 7-game winning streak, their longest since 2022, sweeping the San Diego Padres for the first time in 18 years, and won a series against the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers.[2] This phenomenon along with the Mets' overall success in the month of June as the team celebrates Pride Month, has prompted numerous internet memes about how "Gay Grimace" saved the season.[3][4][5] This streak grabbed the attention of McDonald's who themselves made several posts on X (formerly Twitter) in reference to the Mets.[6]

Offseason

[edit]

On October 2, 2023, the Mets formally introduced David Stearns as their new president of baseball operations.[7] They also mutually parted ways with manager Buck Showalter, who led the Mets to a wild card berth in 2022 in which the Mets lost in three games to the San Diego Padres, but failed to improve on that in 2023 as the Mets went 75–87 and traded away pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander in an attempt to lower payroll at the trade deadline.[8]

On October 5, GM Billy Eppler stepped down amid an investigation by MLB into him and the Mets for improperly using the injured list during the 2023 season.[9]

On November 13, the Mets named former New York Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza as their next manager replacing Buck Showalter. He signed a three-year contract with a club option for a fourth year.[10]

Regular season

[edit]
Harrison Bader with the Mets in 2024

The Mets started the season 0–5 for the first time since 2005 by getting swept by the Milwaukee Brewers and losing their first two games against the Detroit Tigers.[25] However, the Mets turned it around, and by April 20, the Mets reached a 12–8 record thanks to a six-game winning streak and winning five series in a row.[26] However, the Mets then fell into a 1–5 stretch to fall back to .500 by April 27, losing two consecutive series in the process.[27] The Mets then split the next series against the Chicago Cubs, including coming back from a 4–0 deficit on May 2.[28] The Mets would then proceed to blow 3 consecutive leads in a series against the Tampa Bay Rays, which would proceed a May that was full of struggles for the Mets, with multiple bullpen collapses and blown leads, most infamously by blowing a 9–5 lead in the bottom of the 9th inning on May 18 against the Miami Marlins.[29][30] By May 29, the Mets fell to 22–33, and a players-only meeting was held for forty minutes led by Francisco Lindor.[31]

Despite the meeting seemingly having worked as the Mets won their first two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, they then lost their next two games to fall back to 24–35.[32] However, the Mets responded with their first sweep in a 3-game series since April by sweeping the Washington Nationals.[33] Then, the Mets traveled to London to take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the MLB London Series. Despite the Phillies having the best record in baseball at the time, the Mets achieved a split, with the Phillies winning the first game on June 8, and the Mets won the game on June 9, by coming back from a 3–0 deficit to win 6–5 on a game-ending double play.[34] Following a loss on June 11 to the Marlins, the Mets began a 7–game winning streak from June 12–18, which many began to attribute to McDonald's character Grimace throwing the first pitch on June 12. This included coming back from a 6–2 deficit on June 18 against the Texas Rangers.[35] The Mets success in the month of June continued, reaching .500 by sweeping the New York Yankees from June 25–26.[36] However, the Mets proceeded to lose their first series in a month to the Houston Astros, including a blown 6–1 lead on June 29.[37]

José Iglesias with the Mets in 2024

Following the series loss, the Mets split their next two series to open up July against the Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates.[38][39] After the Mets achieved their first shutout win against the Nationals on July 11,[40] they found themselves tied for a playoff position for the first time since May 9, and two games above .500 for the first time since April 24, with a 47–45 record.[41] After a win against the Colorado Rockies the next day, the Mets advanced into a tie for the 2nd wild card spot.[42] They proceeded to split the next two games with the Rockies, entering the All-Star break with a 49–46 record.[43]

Following the All-Star break, the Mets improved to a 55–48 record thanks to a series split with the Marlins, another sweep of the Yankees and winning the first two games against the Atlanta Braves, briefly surpassing them in the standings and taking the top wild card spot in the National League.[44] However, the Mets finished July going 2–3, finishing the month 57–51 and falling out of the playoff picture.[45]
