Mets Swing for the FENCES in the MLB Draft! | Did They Land a Future ACE, or WASTE Their 1st Pick?

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 06:23:38 GMT

New York Mets gamble on Carson Wiggins with their first-round MLB Draft pick—stroke of genius or risky reach?

Wiggins, a flame-throwing righty fresh off Tommy John, headlines a draft strategy that aims to balance high upside with financial flexibility.

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down why Kris Gross—not just David Stearns—shaped the Mets’ draft direction, spotlighting Wiggins’ 102 mph fastball and the front office’s calculated risk on rehabbing arms.

Aiden Robbins, nicknamed “Baseball Jesus,” brings a compelling story and big bats to the Mets in the third round, all while the team navigates roster headaches, a shutout loss to the Boston Red Sox, and Freddy Peralta’s unraveling trade value.

Can Zach Thornton seize a rotation spot, and will the Mets’ youth movement transform a lost season into something hopeful?

Don’t miss sharp insights on the club’s path forward as the All-Star break arrives.

POSTCAST: For Second Straight Day The Offense Struggles, SHUTOUT By Boston

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 23:40:42 GMT

It was another rough day for the bats, as the New York Mets were shutout by the Boston Red Sox, 4-0.

Well, whatever the Mets had been doing at the beginning of the week to score all those runs against Atlanta and Kansas City has eluded them so far in this series with the Red Sox. 0-for--8 with runners in scoring position and just three hits as a team. They did draw seven walks, but were unable to make Boston pay.

Freddy Peralta got the start and at least early, it felt like it was going to be a different kind of start. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, as a two-run homer in the 4th and some trouble in the 5th knocked Peralta out before he could finish 5 innings.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert goes live to break it all down.

Who's the New York Mets’ Second Baseman of the FUTURE? | Mitch Voit BREAKING Out in Brooklyn

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 08:46:54 GMT

New York Mets’ second base future is up for grabs as top prospect Mitch Voit heats up in Brooklyn.

Can Voit become the long-term answer with Marcus Semien’s decline accelerating and internal options thinning after key trades?

Ryan Finkelstein examines Semien’s ongoing struggles, contract situation, and what his defensive drop-off means for the Mets’ infield strategy going forward.

Mitch Voit’s breakout performance—.305 average and .902 OPS in June—sparks new hope for a homegrown solution.

Voit’s athletic profile, versatility between shortstop and second base, and elite speed put him in the spotlight as a potential 2028 starter.

Key topics include Brett Baty’s resurgence, free agent targets like Jazz Chisholm and Luis Arraez, and whether the Mets should spend or trust their farm system.

Ryan Finkelstein also recaps the loss to the Boston Red Sox and discusses pivotal roster moves—including Kodai Senga’s evolving role and Mark Vientos’ injury timeline.

POSTCAST: EARLY Miscue Sinks Mets As Boston SILENCE Bats

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 03:29:44 GMT

Despite the Boston Red Sox being late to the ballpark, it was the New York Mets that were sloppy in the first inning, paving the way for their 6-2 loss in the series opener.

A miscue in the outfield by Juan Soto in the first set up Boston to strike first and take a 2-0 lead off of Nolan McLean. It was another grind it out performance for McLean, who was able to work through six innings and strikeout seven.

The bats, however, couldn't pick up the slack. They went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and Juan Soto single in the 8th was their first hit with a runner on base in the game.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the opening loss for the Mets.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.

However, the huge gap between the Mets and the rest of the Wild Card teams means that, despite playing much, much better, things are still looking fairly bleak for the club. Discussions include Ryan Clifford's all of nothing approach, the injury to Mark Vientos, and Juan Soto's sole All-Star appointment.

Chris’s Music Picks:

Yoo Doo Right/Nolan Potter/Population II - Yoo II avec Nolan Potter
