Another disappointing Mets season is in the books (how many times do I have to write that?!). They spent much of the season in first place, but most observant fans knew it was just a smokescreen — they were never that good. And in the end, they finished eight games under .500, in third place in a winnable National League East. The rash of injuries that hit the team is partially to blame, but in the end, they were a poorly constructed team that couldn’t get the timely hit. So without further ado, here is the Mets final 2021 report card:
Jacob deGrom: A++*
7-2, 1.
