The 2020 Major League Baseball season was a difficult one for both the New York Mets and Yankees. After a shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both teams failed to make the playoffs, ending their respective seasons on a low note.
The Mets finished the season with a 26-34 record, good for fourth place in the National League East. The team had a strong start to the season, but struggled in the second half, losing 12 of their last 14 games. The Yankees, meanwhile, finished with a 33-27 record, good for second place in the American League East. Despite having a better record than the Mets, the Yankees also struggled in the second half of the season, losing 11 of their last 15 games.
The disappointing end to the season has left both teams looking ahead to an uncertain offseason. The Mets will need to make some tough decisions about their roster, as they look to improve their pitching staff and add more depth to their lineup. The Yankees, meanwhile, will need to decide whether or not to re-sign star outfielder Aaron Judge and starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.
Both teams will also be looking to make some changes to their coaching staffs. The Mets recently fired manager Carlos Beltran after an investigation revealed he was involved in the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal. The Yankees, meanwhile, are expected to make some changes to their coaching staff after a disappointing season.
The 2020 season was a difficult one for both the Mets and Yankees, but both teams are now looking ahead to an uncertain offseason. With some tough decisions to make and some changes to be made, both teams will be hoping for a better 2021 season.
