Was Kodai Senga an Inning Away From Trade Talks?! | What Do the Mets Do With Him Moving Forward?

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 08:04:07 GMT

New York Mets face tough decisions as the trade deadline looms and Kodai Senga’s future grows uncertain.

After a dominant four-inning stretch, Senga’s unraveling in the fifth sparks questions: Can the Mets salvage his value or is it time to move on?

Ryan Finkelstein explores potential trade scenarios, discusses how much of Senga’s salary New York might need to retain, and weighs the risks of cutting ties or keeping him for bullpen depth.

The episode spotlights Jonah Tong’s possible promotion, Francisco Lindor’s continued improvement at the plate, and critical bullpen management with arms like Luke Weaver, Huáscar Brazobán, and Brooks Raley tangled in trade talks.

With the Mets prioritizing prospect development amid injuries and slumps—especially Jorge Polanco—the conversation shifts to the team’s strategy for surviving the final games before the deadline.

Episode 731 - Mets Deadline, Split First Two with Marlins

POSTCAST: Kodai Senga Was Good Till He Wasn't, Mets Bats Couldn't Comeback Against Marlins

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 02:21:32 GMT

Kodai Senga started off solid, but hit a wall in the 5th inning and it was too much for the New York Mets to overcome.

Senga wasn't the scheduled pitcher tonight, but got the call after the Mets scratched Freddy Peralta with trade talks heating up. And for the first four innings, it looked like a totally different Senga. After a pair of walks to lead off the 5th, it all came crumbling down around Senga.

Down 4-0 after that, the Mets bats were unable to put a comeback together despite having some opportunities.

With a bunch of relievers potentially on the way out, Xzavion Curry deserves a ton of credit throwing 5 innings in relief.

Zac Thornton will go tomorrow, as the Mets will try to get back into the win column.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down all the Friday night action.

Freddy Peralta SCRATCHED From Last Mets' Start | Peralta Finalists REVEALED + Other Trade Rumors

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 20:26:01 GMT

New York Mets pull Freddy Peralta from his scheduled start as trade deadline rumors swirl—could a blockbuster deal be imminent?

With top contenders like the Rays, Cubs, Braves, and Phillies vying for Peralta, the Mets aim for a coveted top-100 prospect and more in return.

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down potential trade packages, spotlighting prospects such as Brody Hopkins, Nathan Flewelling, JaXon Wiggins, and Aidan Miller.

The conversation covers the Mets’ pursuit of power-hitting, the strategy behind favoring the Rays' and Cubs’ stronger farm systems, and the latest on stalled talks with the White Sox. How will GM David Stearns’ aggressive ask reshape the Mets’ future?

With the trade deadline heating up, big moves could soon reshape the landscape of the NL East.

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 08:18:18 GMT

Will New York prioritize long-term control or seize the moment with blockbuster deals?

POSTCAST: Late Start For The Bats, But Mets Win Opener From Marlins

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 03:29:43 GMT

Luis Robert Jr. delivered the go-ahead hit in the 8th inning as the New York Mets opened this series with the Miami Marlins in the win column.

Delayed a little bit by the rain, it was a slow start for the bats tonight. They didn't have their first baserunner till the third inning and their first hit didn't come till the 5th.

But once they got on base, they ran themselves back into this game. The 6th inning saw Francisco Lindor tie things up with a single and then he would score to give the Mets the lead on an error.

A pair of homers were the only damage against Nolan McLean, who went 6 plus innings for the 8th straight time and it marked the first time this season that four Mets starters went at least 6 innings consecutively. Tonight's win marked the Mets 4th in their last 5 and their 3rd in their last 4 against the NL East.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert discusses all the storylines.
