His most notable transaction was signing All-Star starter Max Scherzer to a lucrative three-year, $130 million contract last offseason.Max Scherzer takes up about 16.49% of team payroll followed by Francisco Lindor at 12.97%.

They are currently 102-44 on the season, and have a realistic shot at surpassing the 2001 Seattle Mariners for most single-season wins in MLB history (116).They were the first team in the league this season to clinch a postseason berth. With core players like Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, and Freddie Freeman, the team will be a tough out in the postseasonThe Mets aren't too far behind the Dodgers in terms of talent level and team depth. The Mets have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Opponents will struggle to score runs against a rotation of Jacob DeGrom, Max Scherzer, and Chris Bassitt.Will fans get to see the two best National League teams face off in the NLCS? Only time will tell.
