Mostly Mets

On this week's episode, we discuss the Kyle Tucker saga. It's been reported in significant detail that the Mets are willing to go to great lengths to land the superstar. But will Tucker take the $50 million a year deal? And if he doesn't, who could the Mets pivot to in order to feel like playoff contention this season is real? While us fans await their next move, plenty of deals were made across the sport. We have those to report. We also discuss the both the college and NFL playoffs as well as a home-run hire for Big Blue. It's another Mostly Mets episode awaiting you. So, join us, won't you?

Happy New Year! We're back with a brand-new episode highlighting the addition of Luke Weaver to the bullpen, McNeil's move back home to Cali, and all the many deals made across MLB. Then we discuss both the NFL and College Football playoffs before closing out the show with an ultimatum sent to David Stearns. Think he'll listen? We shall see. We know you'll come and join, though, so let's go!

The Mets made a move to help bolster their lineup, but he's playing where? You'll hear our thoughts on the addition of Jorge Polanco and whether he's fit for 1st base. There's talk of the team matching up in a trade with the Padres. How realistic is it and, if it happens, who actually could make the trip cross country to Queens? We have a discussion about both New York teams whose home is MSG. Then we round it out by expressing gratitude for what it's all about--you! So please make sure to listen all the way through. 

We have our unfiltered thoughts on the departures of both Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, as well as the arrival of Devin Williams. We discuss the philosophy of David Stearns and whether or not us fans should trust his "plan". Then we talk about the Hall of Fame election of one-time Met, Jeff Kent, and share a story of a time we met. We're all feeling low, so come join us on another Mets therapy episode.

In a trade that surprised many, Brandon Nimmo is the longest tenured Met no more as he was sent packing to Texas. We'll discuss what this means for the team and reflect on Nimmo's time in Queens. Marcus Semien is being brought in. Is his Gold Glove defense enough to help the Mets win? What will next week's Winter Meetings have in store, and what big names are already off the board? We've also got a special announcement you certainly won't want to ignore. So please join us so you can find out what it is for sure!

It's time to turn our attention to the men on the mound and who could be brought in (& potentially back) to town. There was a significant signing this past week. It wasn't by the Mets but could have implications for the contract Pete Alonso seeks. The team announces their entire coaching staff and Hall of Fame Class for 2026. Plus, we'll recap MLB's awards and let you know if I agree with all its picks. I also have another pair of bold predictions that I'm hoping will stick. So come join us as we pour the gravy on thick!

The GM Meetings are underway and, just like David Stearns, this week we talk about some position players who could be in play for the Mets. Who will and won't they possibly get? A pair of bold predictions are made that sure would shake up Queens. We also discuss the latest New York Giants coach to end his tenure in misery. We've got a lot to unpack so come join us and grab a snack.

Welcome to the Hot Stove season! After a month away, we'll recap the World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. What the Mets can learn from each team as they look to bolster their chances to be the ones to stop an LA 3-peat. We have coaching staff and roster updates to provide and will discuss some players who could be wearing orange and blue by the time the offseason is through. Also have some ideas on how us fans can fill our free time too. Am so grateful to be back talking Mets baseball with you!

On today's episode, we recap the coaches that the Mets let go. While we knew change was coming, the level with which it occurred may have caught some by surprise. We also review the performance of the key players on the team this year. Hockey season is officially here! We preview the New York Rangers' season as they look to get back to the playoffs. Highlights from the MLB postseason thus far. And, with it being our last show of the month before a bit of break, there are some words of gratitude I'd like to share. 

Well, nearly two decades later, here we are again Mets fans. On today's episode, we talk about the team's latest colossal collapse. Who are the main culprits and why did it go oh so wrong? Speaking of oh so wrong, we look back at my preseason bold predictions. We'll preview the playoffs the Mets won't be part of. Who's in line for a World Series title? We're here for all Mets fans. So, please, come join me on the couch as we begin our offseason therapy session. 

The Mets saw their grasp on a playoff spot slip away after a series defeat at the hand of the Nationals, last place in the NL East. With the team now needing to win and get some help along the way, do the Mets have what it takes to make the postseason again, or will this week be 2025's end? We talk magic numbers and what the others in the NL Wild Card race have up ahead. And we close out the show by previewing trips to Chicago and Miami, while also hoping that the '25 Mets don't end up with the same fate as a team from decade's past. Doesn't it feel like this season has both been long and, at the same time, fast? But I'm not ready to put this one in the books, so let's start talking about how this team can cook!

After its worst losing streak of the season, Pete Alonso once again saved the Mets from the depths of despair by sending a ball over the right field wall. Will the Polar Bear's heroics ignite the team after an otherwise ice cold week? Soto's season is historic, yes, but has it been as helpful as it should be? Are the Mets able to take solace in that they still hold a playoff spot after all this? We'll discuss the team's starting pitching plan for the upcoming week and check on what's going down in the minor leagues. We'll also recap Alumni weekend and share a take on what we, and MLB, can learn from the Savannah Bananas and their game of play. Then we'll round out the show previewing the road ahead as the Mets hope to end up not having to put their home schedule to bed. It's a fresh, new week, folks, so let's get it started right!

Another Mets pitcher makes his MLB debut, and pitches quite well too. However, the team was unable to come through as after building momentum in the Motor City, it was given a red light in Cincinnati. On this week's episode, we talk about Brandon Sproat's debut along with his fellow rookie hurlers, too. Is their success so far enough to get the Mets' through the rest of the way? Is Soto about to have a September to remember? We recap the highlights of week 1 of the NFL season. Then we round out the show previewing the road ahead, which includes the return of some former Met greats as well as our old friend, Jake. It's a jam-packed bowl of topics to discuss, so let's bake! 

After hopes of their first winning road trip since June, the Mets once again fell short of coming through, instead splitting the series' two. On this week's episode, we dive into the up and down week for the starting pitching, highlight the resurgence of the Met offense, specifically Mark Vientos, as well as discuss another potential pitching promotion from Triple-A. We then go long on an NFL preview while serving up some US Open Tennis talk, too. And we'll round out the show the only way we know by looking ahead to both the home stand and road trip to come as your host preps for a little trip of his own. There's a lot we have to talk about so, please, come and join us!

We're back and so are the Mets (maybe?)! After getting swept and experiencing an additional three difficult defeats, the team rebounds to take two out of three against the Mariners. On this week's episode, we talk about the recent stretch of play, celebrate Pete Alonso becoming the home run King of Queens, and discuss the debut of Nolan McLean. Then we round out the show previewing the road ahead as the Mets venture down to D.C. and Atlanta for a pair of series they desperately need. It's been a rollercoaster season thus far, so let's hop back on!

While for the entire season up to this point the Mets have loved some home cooking, this past week they got cooked by both the Giants and Guardians. On this week's episode, we talk about the terribly bad homestand the team had while asking ourselves what's wrong with the offense? Are Brandon Sproat and/or Nolan McLean ever going to be promoted from Triple-A? How the Mets' minor league teams are doing in their seasons of play, and touch on preseason football being back in play as well. Then we close out the show by talking about the Mets' road ahead, highlighted by a series against the MLB-leading Milwaukee Brewers in the Beer & Cheese state this weekend. It's a jam-packed show, so let's go!

After an up and down week out west, the Mets head back to New York with some new faces awaiting them. On this week's episode, we'll recap the two series' in San Francisco and San Diego, talk about the trades David Stearns made to beef up the back end of the bullpen and add in centerfield. Of course, with a new month upon us, we'll put July into perspective before previewing some home cooking that could have the Mets poised for an Amazin' August. We'll also discuss what deals came about throughout MLB before rounding out the show previewing the upcoming two series'.

Back from the break, and after losing the first two, the Mets came back and continued to find ways to come through. On this week's episode, we highlight the week that was and the pivotal performances that have the Mets' win streak at 4. Is Alvy's return, along with improved performances from his fellow mates in the bottom half of the lineup enough to turn its production around? With the trade deadline a week away, we'll discuss who the Mets could be bringing into (and possibly shipping out of) town. Then we'll touch on the the latest feat accomplished by Scottie Scheffler in the world of golf. And we'll round out the show previewing the road ahead as the Mets have one last road trip out west where many of us will be asking ourselves, "Should I keep watching or go to bed?" Keep watching of course! Though for now, relax and take a listen to this show.

The Mets wrapped up the first half of their schedule with another split of a road trip in Baltimore and KC. On this week's episode, we discuss the week that was, including the returns of both Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea from injury. Manager Jes gives his mid-year performance reviews and ponders some thoughts on the team's outlook for the second half, too. Then we round out the show with a tribute to our Captain, David Wright, as his #5 is set to be retired while he's simultaneously inducted into the team's Hall of Fame on Saturday. It's a jam-packed episode, so please come spend your All-Star break with us.
