Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

New York Mets poised to control the MLB trade deadline reliever market—can David Stearns extract top prospects for Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, AJ Minter, and Huascar Brazoban?  

With elite arms and limited competition, the Mets hold the keys for contending teams desperate for bullpen help.

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down trade scenarios, including potential packages involving the Cubs, Pirates, and Rays, and explores whether packaging relievers or targeting specific prospects—like Wyatt Sanford and Ty Johnson—secures a greater return.  

Discussion centers on recent reliever market trends, maximizing value with rental versus controllable bullpen arms, and how these moves could reshape the Mets' farm system and future roster. Could the Mets’ deadline gambit fuel a fast-track rebuild and net game-changing talent?

19 hits. 14 runs. Huge days from Francisco Lindor and Tyrone Taylor. The New York Mets blew out the Atlanta Braves, 14-3. 

What a night for the bats. Picking up right where they left on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

Lindor had the huge night, with two home-runs and SIX RBI but in total FIVE different Mets had three hit games. 

Let's not forget about Zac Thornton, who picked up his second career victory tonight. A quality start for Thornton as he went six plus innings in the victory.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the offensive explosion by the Mets and another stellar start from Thornton.

New York Mets weigh blockbuster moves as the MLB trade deadline looms.  

Could Francisco Alvarez or Huascar Brazoban be on the move, or will familiar faces like Brooks Raley, AJ Minter, and Freddy Peralta headline the exodus?  

Ryan Finkelstein ranks the Mets’ top trade chips, analyzing market value, years of control, and the unique trade dynamics facing the Queens franchise.

Key discussion points include Jared Young’s surprise rise as a trade asset, the influence of recent trades like Curtis Mead’s, and how contenders might overpay for bullpen help and versatile bats.  

Freddy Peralta’s struggles, Tyrone Taylor’s hot July, and Luis Robert Jr.’s contract all come under the microscope as the Mets’ trade strategy crystallizes.  

With predictions on who stays and who’s gone, plus Carlos Beltran’s Hall of Fame induction and what’s next for the Mets post-deadline, this episode sets the stage for a transformative week in Queens.

Tyrone Taylor slugged another huge home run for the New York Mets, as they were able to salvage the finale of this three game series from the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

The win helped the Mets snap a 5-game home losing streak that dates back to before the All-Star break. Taylor's homer, his fifth since return from injury, started off a 7-run rally from the Mets that flipped the score from 3-1 Dodgers, to 8-3 Mets.

Freddy Peralta got the start and it was another tough one. Peralta labored through four innings of work, throwing 93 pitches to get 12 outs. The Mets bullpen, however, was outstanding, combining for 5 scoreless innings. 

The Mets welcome in Atlanta tomorrow for a three game series as they continue this 10-game homestand.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down all the action from the series finale win for the Mets.
