Default soggy, mushy tomatoes

I don't know about your area, but here NE of Raleigh, the rain has been
*very* uneven -- dry for weeks, then 6" + of rain on June 14th. As I
recall, tomatoes can be very finicky about getting the right amount of
water.

While we have had a good crop of tomatoes this year, a few of the vines
are producing consistently soggy, tasteless tomatoes. Definitely
something wrong with them, The tomatoes start to turn soft and mushy
just before they ripen, and when they do turn red, are not usable. It
makes no difference if we leave them on the vine or pick them a little
green and let them ripen inside.
Anyone know what this might be and what causes it?
Thanks
