Interesting article in the Athletic about the disastrous Mets season despite its record-setting payroll. (The Mariner's payroll by comparison was $134 million.)

Because it may be behind a paywall, here is another article from SI: The Mets are a Historical Disaster:
The Mets finished 75-87, 29 games out of first, after spending money to improve on a team that won 101 games the year before. The team underperformed in nearly every way possible, and the article suggests that athletes have fragile egos that can crack under heavy pressure.
It goes to show you how unpredictable sports can be, and that there are worse things than being a Mariners fan.
