Over at FanGraphs, they published the median projected standings right now in the National League, according to the ZiPS projections. Now, this comes with the caveat that there are some big free agents still out there – no, the Mets are not going to sign one of those – that could shift things around. But as it stands right now, the Mets finish with 83 wins and claim the third Wild Card spot.
That seems like a reasonable forecast to me. It’s probably a win or two higher than I’d go, but nothing outrageous. And, of course, if the Mets are in the thick of the Wild Card race near the trade deadline, it seems likely that they would pull the trigger to add a necessary part or two. Last year they were trading away an old guy doing well on an expiring contract for a lottery ticket IFA player. It’s easy to see them on the other side of the equation this year if everything breaks right.
