PostSportsPlus: Zach Wilson’s humiliation isn’t enough Jets nightmare fuel — there’s Trevor Lawrence, too
to bring the Mets their first World Series title since 1986, committing so much money this offseason to elevate the team into a quartet of 2023 favorites — alongside the Astros, Yankees and Dodgers — at most sportsbooks.The current estimated tab of $489.832 million for Cohen next season is more than 10 MLB teams are projected to combine to spend.The Mets had the second-highest payroll last season and didn’t win one playoff series.
When the Mets payroll increased by 22.7 percent en route to winning 108 games and the ’86 championship, the team still ranked ninth in payroll. The franchise’s future spending sprees never came close to producing the same result. Since then, the Mets have had a top-five payroll in 17 different seasons, never reaching the World Series in any of those seasons.
If not to the same extent, the Mets have had leading payrolls before, such as when they added Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran for the 2005 season, to no avail.The additions/retentions of Justin Verlander , Carlos Correa , Edwin Diaz , Brandon Nimmo , Kodai Senga , Jose Quintana , Omar Navarez , Adam Ottavino , David Robertson could help end the Mets’ title drought.Bill Parcells was right — “You are what your record says you are” — except when it comes to college basketball.
College coaches control their non-conference schedules, and Mike Anderson again opted for the path of least resistance, ensuring a 21st straight season without a losing record while failing to prepare St. John’s for the toughest tests ahead or provide the team important opportunities for notable wins before the Johnnies begin play in the Big East, where only two teams are currently ranked .
The St. John’s men’s basketball team is a deceptive 11-2, the two losses coming in the Red Storm’s only games against decent opponents.
