The New York Mets have reportedly been scouting Trey Mancini and could also use additional help in their bullpen. Could acquiring Mancini and Orioles closer Jorge Lopez be the perfect finishing pieces to this team at the trade deadline? Host Ryan Finkelstein is joined by the host of Locked On Orioles, Connor Newcomb for a Locked On Crossover to talk about what a potential deal would look like between these two teams. Would it be worth trading David Peterson or Tylor Megill to acquire a lockdown reliever with control in Lopez and a bat in Mancini that could put this lineup over the top.

The New York Mets offense finally came alive on Sunday night, piling on eight runs to salvage a win and avoid getting swept by the San Diego Padres. Daniel Vogelbach made his Mets debut, but it was the Polar Bear that stole the show, blasting a three-run homer that woke up the Mets offense. Pete Alonso was not done, as he drove in another run to help catapult the lineup back into action. Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the big win and talks about who could be the best complement to Vogelbach at DH. With the Mets having a standing offer for Josh Bell, would it be worth potentially dealing David Peterson for the best bat (not named Juan Soto) on the market? Also a series preview of what lies ahead against the crosstown rival New York Yankees. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The New York Mets have made their first trade ahead of the deadline, acquiring slugger Daniel Vogelbach from the Pirates in exchange for reliever Collin Holderman. While Holderman has been a great reliever for the Mets this year, host Ryan Finkelstein explains why a bullpen crunch with Trevor May's imminent return made Holderman expendable as the lone piece required to acquire Vogelbach. Looking at his overall numbers, fans might not be impressed with Vogelbach, but if he is only used against right-handed pitching, this could be a great add to fill the Mets void at DH.

Last year, the New York Mets selected Kumar Rocker with their first round pick, but ended up deciding not to sign him after they saw something they didn't like in his medicals. Now a year later, Rocker was selected third overall by the Texas Rangers. Did the Mets make the right move with Rocker, or will they regret not signing him despite the injury risk? Host Ryan Finkelstein is once again joined by social media coordinator Jordan Grossman to discuss the Mets draft and how the Rocker situation has unfolded. They also talk more about the potential of Juan Soto on the Mets and preview this weekend's series against the San Diego Padres. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which players could be added at the deadline that would best compliment the Mets All-Stars? Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down who could be available for the Mets on the trade block and how they can put them over the top to win the NL East. Players like Josh Bell, Willson Contreras and Brandon Drury could fill huge voids for the Mets offensively and relievers like David Robertson, Michael Fulmer and Joe Mantiply could pair nicely with Edwin Diaz in their bullpen.

Considering how great Mets closer Edwin Diaz has been this season, there is a lot of people who are now going back in time and saying the Mets actually won the trade to acquire him, which was previously viewed as one of the worst deals in franchise history. Host Ryan Finkelstein gives his take on how it is revisionist history to call that trade a win now, considering all of the ways that deal prohibited the franchise over the past four years. Also a recap of the Braves win against the Mets on Tuesday night and a breakdown of how David Peterson's revamped slider has made him a quality starter for New York in 2022.
