Mets' Playoff Hopes Crushed as Superstar Alonso Opts Out

As of September 30th, 2025, the MLB regular season has come to a dramatic close. The New York Mets, who started the season 45-23, ultimately fell short of the playoffs after an 83-79 skid that culminated in a loss on Sunday. This disappointing end to their season has led their superstar first baseman Pete Alonso to opt out of his contract and re-enter free agency.

In the postseason, the Wild Card round will feature some highly anticipated matchups. The New York Yankees will host their rivals, the Boston Red Sox, while the Cleveland Guardians, who were 15.5 games back in July, will host the Detroit Tigers. Over in the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers will welcome the Cincinnati Reds, and the Chicago Cubs will take on the San Diego Padres.

There was also some positive news for the Philadelphia Phillies, as three-time All-Star Trea Turner has returned to the team after recovering from a hamstring strain. Turner's return is a significant boost, as he has captured the Phillies' first batting title since 1958. The Phillies are hoping he will be ready to play in Game 1 of the NLDS.
