N.Y. Mets: The Summer Solstice METSian Podcast

From the desk of:  HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET

East Side, West Side, everybody is going mad.  It's only the first day of Summer, yet the media, fans, and the organization itself are already contemplating another rebuild.  This is certainly a ponderous and somewhat unexpected state of affairs.  Sam, Rich and I discussed the merits and folly of such thinking, and if in fact the Mets can get themselves healthy and straightened out before the trade deadline.  Until then the emergence of Brandon Nimmo begs the question: is he a legitimate all-star candidate?  However there's no debating Jacob deGrom's credentials.  Despite the Mets present standing, his stellar season did not go under-spoken.




We left no stone un-turned.  When I host, I like taking things from the top and working my way down the ladder.  Thus we kicked the show off with the Rockies series, then delved into some unsightly team numbers and the standings.  From there we jumped into the starting rotation and bullpen.  Of course, there was no avoiding the 800-pound gorilla in the room - blowing up the team and potentially trading Jacob deGrom and/or Noah Syndergaard.  We shook our pom-poms for Brandon Nimmo and Asdrubal Cabrera, and had or customary fun reminiscing over players who've worn number twelve.  Lastly, we spent a few minutes speaking about the 1912 Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants, and New York Highlanders.
