The 2014 New York Mets season was the franchise's 53rd season and their 6th season at Citi Field. The New York Mets finished 79-83, their most wins since the 2010 season. Also, the Mets finished tied for 2nd place in the National League East, their highest place in the standings since 2008. The Mets missed the postseason for an 8th consecutive season.

The Mets wore a patch honoring Ralph Kiner this season.

Offseason

On November 22, 2013, the Mets signed Chris Young to a one-year $7.25 million deal.[1]

The Mets agreed to terms with free agent outfielder Curtis Granderson on a four year contract worth $60 million on December 6, 2013.[2]

The Mets signed Bartolo Colón on December 11, 2013 to bolster their starting rotation with the expected season long absence of ace starter Matt Harvey due to Tommy John surgery in October. Colón signed for $20 million over two years.[3]

The Mets opened up the regular season on March 31 at home against the Washington Nationals.
