Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

The New York Mets made a surprising move on Wednesday, optioning spring standout Jordan Yamamoto to Triple-A. Yamamoto was excellent in camp thus far, but now is set to receive more development in the minors. Yesterday was also the debut of Locked On Mets on the Locker Room app. Listen as fans of the show get their chance to talk Mets baseball with host Ryan Finkelstein.

In part two of this two-part division day crossover, host Ryan Finkelstein is once again joined by Aram Leighton, host of the Locked On Marlins podcast. Were the New York Mets and the Miami Marlins the two teams most impacted by having no DH this season and how do they manage their imperfect rosters without it? Are the expectations for the Mets World Series or bust this season? Finally, they compare the 2015 Mets and this current Marlins team, as both were built on young starting pitching. Are the Mets a cautionary tale that it could be a dangerous game to go all-in on developing starting pitching? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
