The 2020
On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled.[3] Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC restricting large public events.[4] On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camps on July 1 in order to resume spring training and prepare for a July 24 Opening Day.[5]
On September 23, the team suffered its 31st loss, sealing their third losing season in four years. On September 26, the Mets were eliminated from playoff contention in a 4–3 loss to the Washington Nationals, continuing a four-year-long playoff drought. The Mets finished the regular season 26–34, giving them a last place finish as a result of a 4–6 record against the Washington Nationals, who also went 26–34.[6] This was the first season since 2003 where the Mets finished last place in the National League East.
