Mets Suffer 10th Straight Loss

With a league-high payroll of $370 million, the Mets' freefall has become the most scrutinized story in baseball.

Manager Carlos Mendoza is facing intense pressure as the team struggles with both offensive production and bullpen consistency.

Key players like Luis Robert Jr. and Jorge Polanco have failed to deliver, with the latter recently being placed on the injured list.

The losing streak is the franchise's longest since 2004, leaving ownership with difficult decisions as the mid-season mark approaches.
