Who is Jefferies? No first reference

Do you see a first reference to a Jefferies?24.184.19.217 (talk) 23:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gregg Jefferies. Added a link, and reworked the sentence. It was clearly a relic of the movement of material to the History of the New York Mets article. oknazevad (talk) 00:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence—should say “are a team”

In the context of usage of the word “team” the first sentence of the article should say “…are a team” not “is a team.” See other MLB team pages for reference on this…it should be plural. It is referring to the Mets (or fill in the blank with any team- team names are plural). 173.54.192.139 (talk) 20:13, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~In the "Steve Cohen era" part of the history section, please add~~

In the 2024 MLB season, the Mets started off the year with a dismal 22-33 record. However, after a players-only meeting was held by shortstop Francisco Lindor on May 29, the Mets significantly improved the rest of the way.^[1] On May 31, the Mets acquired catcher Luis Torrens from the New York Yankees,^[2] and acquired relief pitchers Phil Maton, Ryne Stanek, Alex Young and Huascar Brazobán, as well as starting pitcher Paul Blackburn and outfielder Jesse Winker at the trade deadline.^[3] The Mets finished with a record of 89-73 and qualified for the playoffs. The Mets reached as far as the 2024 National League Championship Series before losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games.^[1] Crutch292 (talk) 16:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC) strike sock -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:53, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other than adding a mention of Jose Iglesias ("OMG" being super important to the team's entire personality this year) and, yes, probably having to mention Grimace, it's a pretty good summation. I can work in Iglesias easily (he was called up in the same flurry if roster moves that sent Baty down, so it's already referenced, though it's importance was unknown at the time), but I'm not adding Grimace yet. Otherwise I'm using yours verbatim. oknazevad (talk) 16:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
