Can it be cleaned up before the summer?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Citi Field Advantage

First Place Problems
The Mets are on a 108-win pace, but many facets of the club are not working properly. The offense hasn’t clicked yet, the starters don’t go very long, and Edwin Diaz is a mess. Why is there a contingent of unfulfilled fans?Mike discusses what concerns are real and which ones are just small sample outliers.
