Not only were the Mets swept by the Phillies, but they did not even look competitive during the four-game series. This sounds eerily similar to the attitude the Mets had during the 2024 season. It's almost as if the Mets and Phillies have swapped places from last season. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber pending free agents and Nick Castellanos seeing a reduction in playing time, this Phillies team will look much different next season. Once they left, the good vibes and energy of 2024 left as well.
