PODCAST: Complete New York Mets Breakdown
Mike Mayer joins the show this week...
It has been an absolute dumpster fire of a season for the New York Mets so far.
And it doesn’t look likely to get any better, either.
Despite taking two of three from the Chicago White Sox, the Amazins’ still have less than a 20% chance to make the Playoffs, per FanGraphs. With a tough series against the Boston Red Sox and then the Subway Series against the Yankees to come, it appears incredibly likely that the Mets will be sellers at the Trade Deadline.
Given what could happen over the coming days, it seemed the perfect opportunity to bring on Mike Mayer, the Editor In-Chief at Metsmerized, to conduct a full Mets State Of The Nation.
We got into…
The realistic chances for making the postseason and whether or not the Mets will be sellers at the Deadline.
What pieces will be the most attractive for this team to try and deal away, and what they could add if they decided to be buyers.
Who is to ultimately blame for this hot mess of a season and whether or not GM Billy Eppler and Manager Buck Showalter are in danger of losing their jobs this coming offseason.
Mike reveals the one player he thinks has to really step it up throughout the second-half of the season in order for the Mets to stand ANY CHANCE of making the Playoffs.
Why Kodai Senga, Francisco Álvarez and Brett Baty can be considered bright spots, and why Álvarez needs to be signed to a long-term deal ASAP.
Will Owner Steve Cohen be more motivated to make a real aggressive push for two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani in Free Agency given the failures of this season.
All that and more!
