The2016New York Mets season was the franchise's 55th season and the team's 8th season atCiti Field. The Mets started the season against their2015 World Series opponent, theKansas City Royals.[1] This was the first time in the history of the league that World Series opponents played a rematch onOpening Day. This was made possible by interleague play being scattered throughout the season. Despite being below .500 (60–62) as late as August 19, the Mets went 27–13 in their final 40 games to make the postseason in consecutive seasons for the second time in franchise history. The Mets finished with a record of 87–75 and 2nd place in theNational League East. They lost to theSan Francisco Giants in theNational League Wild Card Game.
On December 2, 2015, bench coachBob Geren left the Mets to join theLos Angeles Dodgers to fill the same position left byTim Wallach who left to join theMiami Marlins in the same capacity. Geren served as the bench coach from 2011 to 2015.[2]Dick Scott was hired to replace Geren on December 16.[3] On December 9, the Mets traded pitcherJon Niese to thePittsburgh Pirates for second basemanNeil Walker.[4] On December 10, the Mets signedAsdrúbal Cabrera to a two-year, $18.5 million contract.[5] On December 15, the Mets signedJerry Blevins to a one-year, $4 million contract with incentives.[6] On December 16,Bartolo Colón was re-signed to a one-year, $7.25 million contract. To make room for Colón, the Mets designatedJohnny Monell for assignment on December 18, when the deal became official.[7] On December 23,Alejandro De Aza signed a one-year, $5.75 million contract with the Mets.[8]
On January 22, 2016, the Mets signedAntonio Bastardo to a two-year, $12 million contract.[9] On January 26,Yoenis Céspedes re-signed with the Mets on a three-year, $75 million contract, with an opt out after the first season.[10] On January 29,Neil Walker signed a one-year, $10.55 million deal avoiding arbitration.[11]
On February 2, 2016,Darrell Ceciliani was traded to theToronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.[12] On February 12,Jenrry Mejía was permanently banned from the MLB after his thirdperformance-enhancing drugs (PED) violation.[13] He became the first player to be banned for life due to PED use, and one of only two living people to be permanently banned, the other beingPete Rose.[14] Mejía is allowed to apply for reinstatement after one year. However, he must sit out a minimum of two years, meaning that he will not be eligible to pitch again until 2018 at the earliest.[15]

The Mets began their 2016 season by losing a close one inKansas City, falling 4–3 at the hands of theKansas City Royals.Matt Harvey, making theOpening Day start, was hit around by the Royals, who took a 4–0 lead into the 8th. However, the Mets scored 3 runs offJoakim Soria to make the game close. In the top of the ninth, facing Royals closerWade Davis, the Mets put runners at the corners with one out, but Davis struck outDavid Wright andYoenis Céspedes to close out the Royals' Opening Day victory.
Following a narrow Opening Day defeat, the Mets split the series in Kansas City behind a scoreless outing byNoah Syndergaard and a two-run home run byNeil Walker. The Mets then returned home and won their home opener 7–2 against thePhiladelphia Phillies.Jacob deGrom pitched six strong innings, while Walker andMichael Conforto both had multiple RBI's. The Mets then went on a brief four-game losing streak which dropped them to 2–5. During the slump, the offense struggled to produce. However, the offense caught fire throughout the rest of the month, led by Walker, who hit .315 with 9 home runs and 19 RBI's in his first month with the team. The Mets only scored less than four runs in a game once in April after April 15, and finished the opening month of the season with a 15–7 record.
After a surging April, the Mets began to cool down in May. On May 7,Bartolo Colón became the oldest player to hit his first career home run, at 42 years and 349 days old. It came offSan Diego Padres pitcherJames Shields in a game against San Diego. Mets pitchers continued to hit when on May 11,Noah Syndergaard hit two home runs off ofLos Angeles Dodgers pitcher,Kenta Maeda. The second home run gave the Mets the lead in the 5th inning. On May 27, the Mets returned toCiti Field to play the Dodgers in what was the first game in a 1986 World Championship 30th Anniversary Weekend Celebration. New York won the first game on aCurtis Grandersonwalk-off home run, but lost the next two games, highlighted byNoah Syndergaard throwing behind Dodgers second basemanChase Utley, an act that was seen as intentional as the Mets were trying to get revenge for Utley's questionable slide against the Mets in the2015 NLDS. In the series finale, Colón andClayton Kershaw battled onESPN Sunday Night Baseball. However, Mets closerJeurys Familia allowed three runs in the 9th to lose the game. The Mets finished the month with a record of 14–15. This dropped them to second place in theNational League East to theWashington Nationals, who would never relinquish their lead in the division.
The Mets continued to struggle in June, in part due to an offense not producing many runs, in particular with runners in scoring position.Neil Walker, who had led the Mets in most offensive categories for the first two months, began to have a drop off in production. The Mets also could not beat teams in their division, getting swept by theAtlanta Braves andWashington Nationals. Pitching also became an issue for the Mets. WhileBartolo Colón andNoah Syndergaard continued to pitch well,Steven Matz,Jacob deGrom andMatt Harvey would not win a game in June. Also that month,Lucas Duda andDavid Wright went down with back and neck injuries, respectively. While Duda would return to the Mets later in the year, Wright would wind up missing the entire season. Duda would be replaced byJames Loney, and the Mets brought back former shortstopJosé Reyes to fill in for Wright at third base. The move was greeted with criticism, as Reyes had been arrested for domestic violence in the offseason. However, Reyes filled in adequately, although he would not make his season debut until July 5. At the end of the month, following a sweep at the hands of the Nationals, it was announced that both Matz and Syndergaard had been pitching with bone spurs in their throwing arms.
The Mets returned home toCiti Field to start the month and swept a four-game series from theChicago Cubs, similar to what they had done in the2015 NLCS. Only July 4, against theMiami Marlins, the Mets fell behind 6–0 in the 4th inning, but would rally to win the game 8–6. The Mets' celebration was to be short-lived, however, as it was announced thatMatt Harvey was placed on the 15-day DL. Shortly after, he opted to have season-ending surgery to resolve a condition calledthoracic outlet syndrome.José Reyes would return to the Mets on July 5, just in time for a pivotal four-game series with the divisional rivalWashington Nationals before the All-Star break. In the first game of the series, the Mets would hit four home runs to win 9–7. The following day, it was announced thatBartolo Colón had been selected to replaceMadison Bumgarner in the2016 MLB All-Star Game, joining teammatesNoah Syndergaard,Jeurys Familia andYoenis Céspedes. However, hours after this was announced, Syndergaard and Céspedes were both injured in a 3–1 loss to the Nationals. These injuries would force the two to miss the All-Star Game, which they were projected to start in. After the All-Star break,Jacob deGrom pitched arguably the best game of his young career, as he dominated thePhiladelphia Phillies in a complete-game shutout, while striking out 7 batters. The Mets continued to play well until the final week of the month, when All-Star closerJeurys Familia, who had converted all of his 36 save opportunities in the season at that point, uncharacteristically blew the saves in back to back games against theSt. Louis Cardinals andColorado Rockies. The Mets finished the month with a 54–50 record, and it became clear that GMSandy Alderson would have to make a deadline trade if the Mets were to make the postseason.
In August,Sandy Alderson would come through with a deal at the trade deadline, as he acquired outfielderJay Bruce from theCincinnati Reds in exchange for second basemanDilson Herrera and pitching prospect Max Wotell. Bruce would make his Mets debut the following day, in a 7–1 win over the crosstown rivalNew York Yankees in the second game of the yearlySubway Series. Bruce would help the Mets tie the series, as he hit a go-ahead three-run home run atYankee Stadium in the series finale in a 4–1 Mets victory. However, Bruce's initial spark would quickly burn out, as he began to slump, only adding to the Mets' offensive struggles. To make matters worse, star outfielderYoenis Céspedes, who undoubtedly had been the best hitter on the team, was diagnosed with strained right quadriceps, and was placed on the 15-day DL. Without him, the Mets' record fell under .500 after an 8–6 loss to theSan Diego Padres on August 12. However, the Mets would rally to win the next two games over the Padres, highlighted bySteven Matz taking a no-hitter into the 8th inning on August 14. Matz struck out 8 batters in that game, which would ultimately wind up being his last game of the year, as he would later undergo surgery for a bone spur in the left elbow, therefore ending his season. The Mets would also lose second basemanNeil Walker for the season after he required surgery to fix aherniated disc in his back. Luckily for the Mets, Céspedes would return to the team on August 19 against theSan Francisco Giants inCalifornia, in what would be considered the turning point of the Mets season. The following day, with the Mets record at 60–62, Céspedes hit two home runs in a 9–5 victory, and homered again the next night onESPN Sunday Night Baseball, as the Mets would get their record back to .500. They then took series from theSt. Louis Cardinals and thePhiladelphia Phillies. New York would also win three of four against theMiami Marlins heading into September, highlighted by a Céspedes walk-off home run in a 2–1 win over Miami on August 29.
Heading into the final month of the regular season, the Mets remained in a race for a Wild Card spot along with the Marlins, theSan Francisco Giants, andSt. Louis Cardinals. To start the month, the Mets sent outJacob deGrom to start against the Marlins, looking to close out a four-game sweep atCiti Field. However, deGrom struggled as the Mets lost the series finale 6–4. It was later revealed that these struggles were injury related, and deGrom underwent season-ending surgery on his ulnar nerve in order to relieve discomfort in his elbow and numbness in his fingers which had plagued him during the season. The loss of deGrom meant that the Mets had lost 3/5 of their starting rotation. In addition to this,Zack Wheeler, who was expected to return in July followingTommy John surgery that kept him sidelined for the entire 2015 season, would suffer setbacks in a minor league rehab assignment, and never returned in 2016. Fortunately for the Mets,Noah Syndergaard andBartolo Colón managed to stay healthy throughout the entire season, and minor leaguersSeth Lugo andRobert Gsellman would provide great starts while filling in for the injured stars down the stretch, helping guide the Mets to multiple series wins throughout the final month. Some pivotal moments of September for the Mets included a weekend sweep at home over theMinnesota Twins, highlighted byCurtis Granderson hitting a game-tying home run in the 11th inning and awalk-off home run in the 12th inning in the second game of the series. Later on in the home stand, after the Mets were swept by the visiting rivalAtlanta Braves, New York began a four-game series against thePhiladelphia Phillies with a 9–8 win in 11 innings. This game would go down as one of the best games of the entire MLB season, as it featured multiple lead changes and comebacks by the Mets. The Phillies held a 6–4 lead heading into the bottom of the 9th, and with the Mets down to their final strike,José Reyes hit a game-tying two-run home run to send the game to extra innings. In the 11th inning, after the Phillies scored two runs to take an 8–6 lead,Asdrúbal Cabrera hit a walk-off three-run home run, capped off with a dramatic bat flip celebration. The Mets would end their regular season home slate by taking three of four from the Phillies, including a 17–0 win in the home finale. After this, the Mets took two of three inMiami before heading toPhiladelphia to end the season, needing to win the series in order to qualify for a Wild Card spot.
The Mets played theSan Francisco Giants in theNational League Wild Card Game atCiti Field on October 5, 2016, which was presented onESPN. The game was notable for two quality pitching performances by the Mets'Noah Syndergaard, who pitched 7 innings, allowed no runs on two hits, striking out 10 batters, and Giants'Madison Bumgarner, who pitched a complete-game shutout on 4 hits while striking out six. Both teams failed to produce any runs for 8 innings, as Syndergaard andAddison Reed held the Giants to no runs, while Bumgarner did the same by himself. During the 9th inning,Conor Gillaspie, the Giants' third baseman, hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the top of the 9th off of Mets' closerJeurys Familia, placing the Mets in a three-run deficit that would eventually cost them the game. The Giants defeated the Mets 3–0, as they would go on to lose to the eventual World Series championChicago Cubs in four games in theNational League Division Series.
