Despite one of the highest payrolls in the sport, the New York Mets have played like … well … the New York Mets in 2026. With the team sputtering in the first half, the Mets engaged in a significant fire sale at the trade deadline, with eight major-league players being shipped out.
Given the way the team played this season, you can't blame some fans for expressing relief that the team dismantled its disappointing roster. But you wouldn't expect to hear that from one of the team's broadcasters.
Keith Hernandez may have taken things a bit too far when discussing the team's moves at the deadline. Ahead of Tuesday's game, Hernandez said the Mets "took out all the garbage" with their deals.
Hernandez immediately seemed to realize calling former Mets players "garbage" was a poor decision, adding a "so to speak" to his ****** ysis after the fact.
And to further hammer home the point that Hernandez felt bad, he apologized for that term before Cleveland Guardians starter Joey Cantillo threw the first pitch.
