  • My Fave Mets Podcast

    Hey Mike, thanks for all the great shows and insights you provide us. And for helping to get us through this disappointing & frustrating season! A note from this past week’s extended episode. I thought Steve Keane was fantastic. I think you should bring him on a few times a season to chop it up. Thanks and LGM!

  • Snap Out of it!

    Peterson was an All Star last year not a 5th starter. And you think Conforto was only good for a few years? Familiarize yourself with Baseball Referenxe.com. Compare Conforto’s numbers as a Met to Nimmo and Lindor. Plus he played a gold glove right field the best player on the Mets for a long time.

  • No spin. Straight talk

    I appreciate how Mike Silva doesn’t do the typical click-bait show. He tells it like it is(even if we don’t want to hear it), no spin, no bull. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Checkbook Baseball
Q: Why did they move to sign Nimmo and Verlander despite inflation in the market?
The host explains that top-tier offensive and pitching talent is essential to a championship window; Nimmo's multi-year deal and Verlander's presence are viewed as core to the team's immediate competitiveness and long-term branding strategy.
Checkbook Baseball
Q: Are the Mets still pursuing Kodai Senga aggressively?
Yes, they are very much pursuing Senga, with the organization signaling continued interest and consideration of a high-payroll path to secure him.
Do the Mets Have Enough for 2027?
Q: What are your thoughts on Skubal's free agency and the potential for the Mets to pursue him?
The host believes Skubal could command a seven-year deal around 50M AAV and that the Mets will weigh long-term commitments versus other options, with the Dodgers' financial situation and the CBA influencing decisions.
Do the Mets Have Enough for 2027?
Q: James writes, thought on Bichette staying, one of the Post writers says he won't. What are your thoughts on Bichette staying with the Mets?
The host suggests Bichette could be a fit going forward, noting that a late-career opt-in or extension might be viable, and argues that Bichette replacing Alonso with a different right-handed bat could be part of a broader strategy rather than a direct one-for-one swap.
The Dodgers Standard & The Mets Reality
Q: What is the Mets' likely path at the trade deadline according to the host?
The host suggests a strategy focused on acquiring cost-controlled, high-upside prospects (lottery-ticket players) and balancing them with a few safer, useful big leaguers, aiming to build long-term value in the farm system rather than chasing immediate win-now stars.
