MLB.com — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 10:00:00 GMT

The Mets keep winning, and suddenly there’s at least a little reason to wonder how far this run can go.

Andy Martino explains why this weekend’s series against the White Sox could be a turning point for the Mets, especially with the Brewers and Astros waiting back home. Plus, Andy looks at past teams that made improbable late-season runs, breaks down the Sean Manaea vs. Sean Burke matchup and explains why Carson Benge could be a player to watch in Chicago.

Tarik Skubal or BUST for the New York Mets in Free Agency?! | Spend BIG Now or Wait for the New CBA?

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 08:47:50 GMT

New York Mets face high-stakes offseason: Is it Tarik Skubal or bust for Steve Cohen’s squad?

With the two-time AL Cy Young winner poised to shatter MLB pitching contract records, the Mets must weigh massive spending against a thin free agent market and looming CBA uncertainty.

Ryan Finkelstein spotlights Skubal's dominance and injury risks, compares him to other top free agents like Michael King, Randy Arozarena, and Seiya Suzuki, and questions whether Clay Holmes or a corner outfielder could be a viable Plan B.

Discussion covers potential luxury tax impacts, the evolving Mets farm system, and a key series preview against the surging Chicago White Sox.

Mets fans, is the path to contention all-in on Skubal, or does a smarter offseason blueprint exist?

Could Andy Green Be the New York Mets' PERFECT GM?! | Or Should He Stay on as the Manager?

Locked On Podcast Network, Ryan Finkelstein — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 08:39:13 GMT

New York Mets surge under interim manager Andy Green sparks speculation—will he return to the front office, take on the GM role, or remain in the dugout?

Ryan Finkelstein spotlights Green’s seamless transition from farm director to clubhouse leader, exploring how his rapport with players and deft media handling could reshape the Mets' front office dynamics.

Could Green bridge the gap between the executive suite and the locker room, or is his future still on the field?

Key topics include the Mets’ post-trade deadline resurgence, Francisco Lindor’s standout play, and Carson Benge’s Rookie of the Year bid.

With names like Alex Cora and Carlos Beltran swirling as potential managerial candidates, the episode also assesses future leadership scenarios and the organization’s strategy for the vacant GM seat.

Ryan wraps up with a minor league recap: Binghamton Rumble Ponies’ hot streak, Jonathan Santucci’s Triple-A struggles, and rising prospects Marco Vargas and Corey Collins.
