  • 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.

Can Cohen and Stearns Sell the Mets?
Q: Why don't you get into your thoughts on the free agency and pitching?
Ragazzo says the Mets need multiple starters whether or not they land Skubal, and discusses trade possibilities including controllable pitchers.
Can Cohen and Stearns Sell the Mets?
Q: What do you think, Mike?
Ragazzo says the Mets' recent lack of stability and success could make candidates wary, and that Peralta's starkly different results with Tampa Bay may raise questions for potential free agents.
Part 2: Big Trade Idea
Q: What are some of the big CBA things we see as potentially causing a lockout or what's going to be the crux of the disagreement between the MLBPA and the owners?
Mike Silva says spending is the central issue and predicts that a hard salary cap would lead to a prolonged stoppage. He discusses possible spending limits, penalties and other models, while David Mills notes that expanded rosters could provide players with additional major-league jobs.
Part 2: Big Trade Idea
Q: Would you trade Lindor for Harper, or would the Phillies want to clear payroll and take Polanco's contract for Schwarber?
David Mills doubts the Harper trade would work because Harper has said he wants to finish his career in Philadelphia and may not be a good fit at first base. He sees a Schwarber deal as more plausible, though the Mets might need to give up valuable prospects.
What is a Playoff Team?
Q: What should the Mets prioritize to build a team capable of winning in the postseason?
Silva says the Mets should add starting pitching, develop a deeper and more consistent offense, improve defense at weak positions and continue building a dependable bullpen. He points to young players and the team's financial and prospect resources as potential advantages.
