The Mets win their second World Series of the save, and first since 2028, beating their cross town rivals 4-2. 2030 1st round pick SS Josh O’Neill wins the MVP, to go with his Divisional and Championships MVPs in an incredible post season for the 26-year-old.
Kansas City Postseason Stats
The 10-run first game of the series skews the hitting stats as only TJ Pompey and Eric Rose post below league average wRC+. On the pitching side, Hoffer’s blow up sits alongside Chris Wagner’s 4Hs in 1.1 IP and Jeremy Lininger’s 5Hs in 1.2 IP as the reasons for the Royals early end to the season.
Owner Goal Review
Team Record:
The fans needed to see us in the playoffs this year and you guided the team and made it happen. I'm very happy you were able to meet this goal.
Upgrade a position:
You had faith in Marquis Foggie to become a top shortstop, and your trust in Foggie will hopefully lead to many years of success.
Acquire a player:
Well, you have figured out a great way to disappoint your boss and the owner of a popular baseball team. I wish you really would have worked harder when I asked you to bring in a Hometown player.
Build your farm:
I don't know what to say. I asked you to improve the farm system, and you've done nothing.
Improve your fan interest:
The fans have turned off to this team. Now is the time to do something about it.
Improve your team record:
I'm looking for better results in close games.
Long Term:
You made the playoffs. I had set out a longer vision to bring a championship to Kansas City by 2041, and that time isn't up yet. You do know it's been 22 years since this franchise has won? That may not be as bad as some teams, but I think the fans are starting to wonder when the next one will come.
