New York Baseball Teams Struggle in 2023 Season

Despite spending over $600 million on their payrolls this season, the New York Yankees and Mets find themselves with more losses than wins. The Yankees, unsure of their identity, made minimal moves at the trading deadline, while the Mets, with a clearer picture of their struggles, engaged in a sell-off. The Mets' general manager acknowledged that the team's season did not go as planned, and they are now looking to compete in 2025 and 2026. The Yankees, with a sustainable track record but lacking standout hitters, are also facing a disappointing season.
