    Time for the System to Breakout

    We all are ready for spring training to end, but MLB gave us a rare treat for this time of the year with the Mets-Nationals Spring Breakout game.

    Jonah Tong, Ryan Clifford, and Carson Benge teased what they could be, but the real question is what the Mets system will produce in 2025 and beyond. Still ranked outside the Top-10 in the game, is David Stearns prepared to take this to the next level this year? Mike talks about the importance of this.

    He also discusses where the Opening Day roster stands with the injuries to Manaea, McNeil, Montas, and Alvarez. Hear about how a good problem arose this spring and one the Mets haven’t had in quite some time.

    Dare to Dream

    The Mets have lost key members of their starting rotation this spring, but have the performances of the top prospects and some lesser-known names changed the perception of how competitive this group can be? Listen to Mike’s thoughts on who is impressing in camp and his early prediction on what thirteen arms will come north with the club.

    Brett Baty is having a breakout spring. Is he a candidate for the annual “Darren Reed Award,” or does he have a legitimate shot at a roster spot? Is Baty also an option for the starting lineup, considering Starling Marte may not be ready for the season? Hear Mike discuss this and other positional options to round out the roster.

    Why Don't the Fans Show Up to Citi Field?

    Did Steve Cohen call out Mets fans for their lack of support? After his comments about Citi Field attendance, many on social media defended their decision to stay away from the ballpark. The debate is nuanced, and there are multiple reasons why the team is in the bottom half of the league in attendance. Mike revisits an old topic discussed on the show before but sees reason for hope, unlike prior seasons when the team struggled at the gate.

    OMG What's Left of the Mets Hot Stove?

    With the offseason ending and the Super Bowl in our sights, is there anything left to the Mets hot stove?

    Mike Silva talks about how impactful Pete Alonso’s potential return will be to the Mets offense using Talkin’ Mets “fun with numbers” and various projection systems. Despite popular opinion, Nick Madrigal didn’t end Jose Iglesias' tenure in New York, but rather a popular prospect might have. Finally, should the Mets do what it takes to bring Dylan Cease to New York? The answer is not as easy as it appears on the surface.
