It would take a complete bounceback and a collapse of at least 9 teams currently with better records than the Mets for them to make the playoffs.

They're all just a few games apart with about 70 games left. That's an eternity. Ha, we lost the Division with 17 games left and up 7.5 games.

While even at his best Familia was never the second coming of Mariano Rivera no one could have anticipated just how terrible he would be. Everything else you said is spot on. The Lowrie signing would have made sense if Cano wasn't brought in. The Cano addition never made any darn sense.
The only way I see it happening is if you replicate the deal that brought him to the Mets in the first place. Package his turd of a contract with an attractive asset and take back some lesser salary ballast in the process. Something like Thor and Cano to Boston for Nathan Eovaldi and prospects.

I suppose my biggest issue has more to do with ownership and there need to operate like a small market team. The overall money given to Familia was pretty reasonable at 3 year 30 million but when you factor in that he'll be making 11.6 and 17.6 million respectively in his final 2 years it makes it very difficult to move him and there is almost no way for him to "earn" those salaries as a setup man.
That would be a nightmare scenerio for me. Under no circumstances should the Mets use one of their assets to shed Cano. Either the Met management should cut/bench Cano or just keep him and blow up the team.
