What If the Joke Isn’t on the Mets?

🔥 The Brushback

Everyone’s laughing at the Mets again.

Another winter.
Another teardown.
Another round of “what the hell are they doing?”

Pete Alonso — gone.
Edwin Díaz — gone.
Brandon Nimmo — gone.
Jeff McNeil — gone.

After a historic collapse with a $300-million-plus payroll, it looks like Steve Cohen finally took a sledgehammer to the roster — and walked away.

But here’s the twist.

Juan Soto is still around with his $765 million.
Untouched.

Actually, this doesn’t look like panic.
It looks like intent.

The Mets didn’t nibble at the edges. They didn’t try to run it back. No duct tape, no PR spin.They cleared the deck — payroll, timelines, expectations.

And that’s not nothing.

New York have two things that fix problems fast in this league:
💰 Money.
And a ⚾️ real farm system.

That opens doors.

Kyle Tucker?
Cody Bellinger?
Tarik Skubal??

Not promises.
Possibilities.

And that’s where this gets uncomfortable for everyone enjoying the schadenfreude.

Baseball history is full of teams that looked reckless — right before everyone realized what they were building.

The Mets could still screw it up. Of course they could. They’ve earned that skepticism.

But here’s the question worth asking:

What if the joke isn’t on the Mets — but on everyone laughing at them?
