How Will the Mets Adjust After A Disappointing Season End Against Padres?

And at the very top of the organization, the Mets are searching for a new team president to replace Sandy Alderson, who is shifting into a special adviser role after leading the franchise since the billionaire Steven A. Cohen’s purchase the club two years ago.

“I’ve been a part of organizations where you’re able to have a down year and then reset the next year and be really good,” Scherzer said. “So, it’s too early to comment on what’s going to happen next year because you have all off-season to go. But I’ve been in this situation before and I’ve seen organizations rebound, and there’s no reason this organization can’t rebound.”

“I love the foundation that we have here,” said outfielder Mark Canha, adding that he believed in General Manager Billy Eppler and Cohen. (Cohen, players said, addressed the team after the loss, telling them how proud he was of them.)

As Cohen, Eppler, the Mets’ front office, Manager Buck Showalter, the coaching staff and perhaps the new team president sit down to dissect this season and why it ended earlier than expected, there is plenty that can improve despite amassing the most regular-season wins their last World Series-winning season in 1986.

“There’s a lot that we accomplished, but it really stinks how it ended,” Alonso said. Added shortstop Francisco Lindor, “We didn’t come through. We didn’t finish what we wanted.”
