2017 New York Mets season

The 2017 New York Mets season was the franchise's 56th season and the team's 9th season at Citi Field. The Mets opened the season on April 3 against the Atlanta Braves and finished the season on October 1 against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Just two years removed from a World Series appearance, the Mets had high expectations. However, the season was a major disappointment with injuries to key players, poor performances from players such as Yoenis Céspedes, Matt Harvey, and Robert Gsellman, and by controversy within the organization and around players. The Mets finished in 4th place in their division, missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014, and finished with a 70–92 record, equalizing their worst record since 2009. Manager Terry Collins announced his retirement following the final game of the season.

Offseason

On November 14, 2016, second baseman Neil Walker accepted a qualifying offer, returning to the Mets for $17.2 million.
On October 29, 2016, outfielder Yoenis Céspedes re-signed with the Mets on a four-year, $110 million contract. This was the Mets second biggest free agent signing in their history at the time after Carlos Beltrán's $119 million deal in 2005.
On January 27, 2017, loogy Jerry Blevins re-signed with the Mets on a one-year deal with an option for 2018.
On February 15, 2017, pitcher Fernando Salas re-signed with the Mets on a one-year deal.
