The Mets entered this season overhauling a roster that choked away the best record in the league last summer, which turned in a league-high $329 million payroll. "The Mets have the highest salary in baseball, and they lose all the time," President Donald Trump told a crowd in Georgia, the Braves' home state. Trump made the comment while praising Braves Development Company CEO Mike Plant, saying the Mets should "maybe steal this guy." Marcus Semien is hitting .209 with a .606 OPS and Williams owns a 4.54 ERA Weaver's 1.98 ERA is a lone bright spot. The Mets are 43-60 and 17 games behind the Braves in the NL East.
