Your 2014 New York Mets & how they got here.

It has been one crazy offseason around the MLB. This was the offseason the Mets were to take the next step. 2013 was supposed to be the Mets low-mark in their rebuilding effort that began in October 2011 once Omar Manaya was dismissed, and Sandy Alderson was anointed king of the Mets organization. The 2014 offseason has come and passed, with the Mets in a much better position today than they were three off seasons ago. Will this team win 90 games? No. 80 games? Yes, very much a possibility. Here are our 2014 New York Mets, and how they got here.
