Despite their high payrolls and star-studded rosters, Mets and Padres are a combined 11 games under .500 heading into this weekend's three-game series
Seth Lugo’s phone rang more than few times over the offseason. The Mets were never on the other end of call, perhaps because they eyed much larger prizes to fill the vacancies left by Jacob deGrom, Chris Bassitt and Taijuan Walker than moving their longtime reliever into the rotation.Then they inked José Quintana for $26 million over two years and Kodai Senga for $75 million over five years.Those additions to a 101-win team helped push Steve Cohen’s 2023 payroll to $348 million.
Padres starting pitcher Seth Lugo pitches against the Angels during the third inning of Wednesday’s game. Mets closer Edwin Diaz was lost for the year with a freak knee injury sustained during a World Baseball Classic celebration. The Padres have been waiting on Drew Pomeranz’s elbow for years. The All-Stars who’ve hit the Mets’ injured list is longer than the Padres’ .
