Easiest takeaway ever from Citi Field on Tuesday night. From much of the last 12 years at this place, come to think of it: You get what you pay for. The Mets’ playoff hopes grow slimmer by the day, too many days, because they didn’t stock their 2020 pitching cupboard with enough viable options. And …

The Mets have 17 games left in the regular season. At this point, it seems more likely they’ll be playing out the string than making a push toward the playoffs. That’s especially true after they were manhandled by the Orioles in an 11-2 loss on Tuesday night in Queens. Their lineup was shut down by …

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have not seen the dry ink on a deal that makes Steve Cohen the primary owner of the Mets. So, they refuse to surrender in their desire to purchase the club even at the eleventh hour. “It ain’t over until it is over,” Lopez told The Post. “We are New …

Bart Giamatti once wrote of baseball, “It breaks your heart,” and just think, the late commissioner published that 31 Mets bullpens ago. If it’s a Mets gut-punch loss, it must be their bullpen. OK, to be fair, their 10-inning, 9-8 defeat to the Phillies on Monday afternoon at Citi Field could’ve been far more pedestrian …

The calendar said Labor Day, but this ultimately became Groundhog Day for the Mets.

Three weeks from Monday the Mets will either be preparing for a National League playoff series or cleaning out lockers to begin their offseason. Whether they reach October will hinge largely upon starting pitching, with the bullpen also hardly immune from worry. The lineup is by far the least of the Mets’ concerns. A fruitful …

“Starting Pitcher Robert Gsellman: Chapter 2” fared nowhere as well as the original, and the endeavor came to an end Sunday. Before the Mets took on the Phillies at Citi Field, manager Luis Rojas said that Gsellman would return to the bullpen. “Gsellman can definitely help our bullpen, bouncing back,” said Rojas, who explained that …

The Mets have enough problems filling a rotation that includes Seth Lugo. Without Lugo’s transition from the bullpen, this starting pitching mess would be piled higher and deeper. Saturday night the right-hander completed his buildup, reaching five innings for the first time and giving the Mets hope they have a respectable No. 2 behind Jacob …

In this almost-everybody-has-a-shot season, the Mets’ chances of winning the NL East are virtually dead. Another avenue to the postseason also could be almost closed by the time Monday’s Labor Day cookouts are concluding. With second-place teams assured a playoff berth, the Mets can still go that route, but unless they show something against the …
