The Mets won 83 games in 1972 and the Mets finished in third place in the national league east. The Mets have won 83 games for the third straight season on the backs of Tom Seaver and Rusty Staub. The Mets know they can have the team they had in 1969 and with the pitching staff that they have they will very soon as the Mets witness another early offseason. The Mets can start looking for a replacement for Nolan Ryan not named Tom Seaver. The Mets have a solid core to build around for the future and should start considering building for the future.
