The New York Mets, eliminated from the 2024 playoffs, lost in Game 6 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
Making the NLCS was the furthest the Mets have advanced in the postseason since going to the 2015 World Series.
The Mets were unable to contain the Dodgers lineup as they gave up 46 runs in the series.
However, New York star Francisco Lindor sent a powerful message after exiting the postseason.
“Something special is happening here. It will be one of those where 10, 15 years from now the guys will still be talking to each other. I’m proud of it,” Lindor said, via SNY.

Lindor appears to suggest the Mets are very close and more than just teammates.
They had an incredible run as they were underdogs against the Milwaukee Brewers in the wild-card series and then the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series.
Lindor’s championship streak consisted of seven hits in 24 at-bats with one home run, one triple, two RBIs, five runs scored and four walks.
It appears the shortstop believes the Mets will be back next year to make another run at the World Series title.
However, first baseman Pete Alonso is heading into free agency this offseason and could be playing his last game for the team.
It will be interesting to see if he returns to the Bigs for the 2025 season.
