Happy trade season, Mets fans!
The Mets have played some wild baseball the last handful of days, both frustrating and exciting.
Regardless, they find themselves in first place in the National League East still and have an opportunity to beef up at the trade deadline which is right around the corner.
Rob and Mike J. explore what some of those trades might look like and talk about the overall state of the Mets.
This is the first episode of our new twice a week episode format, so stay locked in later this week as we reminisce about the Mets Legends content you know and love.

Hello, Mets Legends faithful!
We sincerely apologize for the delay between podcast uploads. Rob's computer and him got into a long, drawn out battle, but Rob came out on top as the ultimate victor.
Anyway, this episode is jampacked with tremendous content!
Ryan Finkelstein of Locked on Mets joins Rob and Mike J. to talk about what goes into hosting a daily podcast, and Ryan explains why he loved Mets Legend Jeff Duncan so much.
We then go back and retrace Rob's lineage all the way to the 1960s when his distant relative, Jimmy Piersall, hit his 100th career home run and ran the bases backwards so he would get more publicity than Duke Snider did for his 400th homer.
Be sure to check us out, as always, on Twitter: @MetsLegends, as well as hitting Ryan with a follow: @FinkelsteinRyan as well as @LockedOnMets!

After some technical difficulties attempting to record our ~original~ fourth episode, we had to re-do it. But never fret, Mike J., Mike R., and Rob are here to bless you with some content as always.
In this episode, we talk about how Steven Matz seems to be settling in to the north of the border lifestyle, and we say goodbye to a pair of #MetsLegends who hung up their cleats recently.
Then, we reflect on how the Mets nearly traded Brandon Nimmo on one occasion in particular and how if they did, it could have severely altered Mets' history.
Lastly, take a trip down memory lane with Mike R., who tells us about #MetsLegends Amos Otis and Mike Scott, who ended up having better careers elsewhere than they did in New York. Very typical.
As always, thank you for tuning in and make sure you give us a follow on Twitter: @MetsLegends and @MetsLegendsCast
On this episode of the Mets Legends Cast, Rob and Mike are joined by Mets Legends' graphic designer, Michael Jennings.

Then, Mike J. gives us a rundown of the new book he's reading "So Many Ways to Lose - The Amazin' True Story of the New York Mets—the Best Worst Team in Sports" by Devin Gordon.
Finally, Mike R. talks about some Hall-of-Famers who have graced the Mets with their presence...but certainly not at a Hall-of-Fame level.

Thank you for tuning in to the second episode of the Mets Legends Cast, hosted as always by Rob Piersall and Mike Rosen, the co-creators of Mets Legends.
In this episode, Mike and Rob take a look around the majors at some impactful Mets Legends who are now contributing with other clubs.
Then, they talk about how Mets fans are used to the team drafting well now, it wasn't always the case, as a quick glance at their draft results in the '90s doesn't paint a particularly bright picture.
One prospect Mike and Rob focus on in particular is shortstop Ryan Jaroncyk, who was selected one pick behind Roy Halladay in the 1995 draft, but walked away from baseball forever at just 20-years-old because, well, he hated baseball.
Finally, Mike and Rob wrap up the Cast by talking about one of their favorite Mets Legends in Lastings Milledge, a.k.a. Blastings Thrilledge, who was way too cool for his time.
As always, check us out on Twitter: @MetsLegends and @MetsLegendsCast, and stay tuned for the launch of our accompanying blog and weekly newsletter!
