The 2015 New York Mets season was the franchise's 54th season. The Mets finished the regular season with a record of 90–72, winning the National League East title on September 26, their first division title since 2006 and sixth overall. They defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series in five games and swept the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series. They lost to the Kansas City Royals in five games in the 2015 World Series. It was the Mets' first appearance in the World Series since 2000 when they lost to the New York Yankees.
On November 10, 2014, the Mets signed Michael Cuddyer to a two-year $21 million deal. On December 2, 2014, the Mets officially non-tendered Eric Young Jr. On December 11, 2014, the Mets agreed to a one-year contract with John Mayberry Jr.
During Spring training, the Mets made trades for relief pitchers Jerry Blevins from the Washington Nationals and Alex Torres from the San Diego Padres.
The Mets, who were being no-hit into the 6th Inning by Max Scherzer, pulled off a stunning upset on Opening Day, as they were able to capitalize on two errors by Washington in the sixth. Ian Desmond committed a throwing error and Dan Uggla dropped a David Wright pop-up, and Lucas Duda finished off the rally with a two-run single into the right-center gap off a 98-MPH fastball from Scherzer. Terry Collins' decision to start Bartolo Colón was questionable, but it wound up working as his only blemish was allowing a home run to Bryce Harper. After Colon left the game, Buddy Carlyle, filling in for an injured Jenrry Mejía nailed down the save, giving the Mets a 3-1 victory.
