'Money can't buy happiness' is officially the slogan of the 2023 New York Mets.

It was a miserable enough season that the Mets basically gave up in the middle of the season and sold hard at the MLB trade deadline, dealing away the likes of Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Tommy Pham, Mark Canha and David Robertson. In the case of Scherzer and Verlander, the Mets included a mountain of cash to cover their $43.3 million salariesSo Friday's elimination was a long time coming and hardly a surprise.

The additions of Pham, Robertson, José Quintana, Omar Narváez and Adam Ottavino on contracts totaling $71.5 million, headlined by No. 3 overall prospect Francisco Alvarez, who happened to play a position of need at catcher. They lost the division last season to the Braves on a tiebreaker at 101 wins, then responded by signing more than $200 million in free agents to round out their depth with MLB veterans.
