NEWNow you can listen to FOX News articles!
New York Mets was 45-24 at some point and broke the best record in baseball, but ended the season at 83-79 and missed it after the season.
One -time American League MVP MO Vaughn spoke to Fox News about the collapse of Mets and where he was going wrong. In 2024, Vaughn discussed how the team’s National League Championship series may have played.
“They went to the league championship series last year. They knew how to do it. They knew how to go there. And what will happen, you spend too much energy to that point. Now you, now you reset. There’s another season, but you’re not sharp,” Vaughn said.

“You’re not like the point, you’re not so special because it’s just this concentration. You know, if you have the opportunity to reach there, you’ll turn it, you will open it. And I felt about Mets.”
If Mets had just won another game, they would have a better record than Cincinnati Reds and made playoffs. Vaughn said Mets did not have a “fine -tuned concentration” to reach there.
“They just have to recover and restructure their brains.” He said. “And not because you didn’t take it seriously.
Vaughn said Mets will have a new mentality for spring education next season.
“I think what’s going to be now will go back to spring education. And they’ll think about the years they’ve done that year, and now they’ll think that everything is important.” He said.
“When everything is important, then you get the best basement played. But they will learn, they will go there. Very talented. There are too many men. There are too many men who know how to play.”

Vaughn also praised Juan Soto with Mets for having a “wonderful” for the first season.
Vaughn, “The highest paid player has a lot of deception. You’ve got the whole Yankee Mets. Why went, where did he go? He should stay?
Vaughn, Soto’nun at the beginning of the year, how time to take time, he said.
