    Mets Trade RUMORS: Ketel Marte is ON the Block | Kodai Senga Drawing 'Buy-Low' Trade Interest

    The New York Mets could be eyeing a blockbuster move as Ketel Marte hits the trade block, potentially slotting between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto in a dream lineup.   The Arizona Diamondbacks' All-Star second baseman, who finished third in MVP voting in 20234, brings elite production at a discount—$92 million remaining through 2030 represents exceptional value for baseball's best at his position.   With Arizona motivated to move him before his full no-trade clause kicks in mid-April, the window for acquiring the switch-hitting superstar is narrow. Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down what a competitive trade package might look like, discussing prospects like Brandon Sproat, Jett Williams, and Christian Scott. He examines how Marte's acquisition could reshape the Mets' roster construction, potentially affecting Pete Alonso's future in Queens.   The episode also covers Kodai Senga drawing trade interest, Jose Rojas signing a minor league deal, and Andy Martino's latest intel on the Alonso situation, challenging narratives about David Stearns' intentions. Discover how the Mets could transform their lineup with this potential game-changing acquisition and what it means for their championship aspirations.

    How Do the Mets FIX Their Defense? | David Stearns' Focused on Run PREVENTION This Offseason

    The New York Mets' defensive struggles in 2024 weren't just about Pete Alonso at first base—the real culprit was Mark Vientos at third, who posted the worst defensive metrics relative to playing time.   This episode breaks down where the Mets' run prevention truly failed and reveals surprising solutions for the offseason. Host Ryan Finkelstein analyzes defensive metrics across the roster, exposing how playing guys out of position—particularly Vientos at third and Jeff McNeil in center—tanked the team's defense more than Alonso's first base play.   With Francisco Lindor underperforming his usual defensive standards and Juan Soto struggling in right field, the path forward requires strategic roster moves.   Finkelstein explores potential fixes, including Ryan O'Hearn as an underrated first base option, Wilson Contreras trade scenarios, and why keeping Brett Baty and Ronnie Mauricio at third base could transform the infield defense.   The discussion covers David Stearns' offseason priorities, center field solutions from Harrison Bader to Carson Benge, and whether moving Soto to DH makes sense at age 27. Discover the data-driven blueprint for fixing the Mets' defense without sacrificing offensive firepower—listen now for the complete breakdown.

  3. REPORT: Mets EXPECTED to Let Pete Alonso Walk & Trade McNeil | Are They Ready to TURN the Page?

    REPORT: Mets EXPECTED to Let Pete Alonso Walk & Trade McNeil | Are They Ready to TURN the Page?

    The Pete Alonso free agency rumors are swirling again, but are the New York Mets really planning to let their franchise cornerstone walk?   Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down a Sports Illustrated report claiming the Mets want a clubhouse culture shift by trading Jeff McNeil and letting Alonso leave unless he accepts a team-friendly deal. The problem? The source is a rival NL scout, not anyone inside the Mets organization. Finkelstein examines whether first base defense is truly the issue David Stearns referenced when discussing "run prevention," or if positions like right field (Juan Soto), center field (McNeil), and third base (Mark Vientos) were bigger defensive liabilities.   He explores potential alternatives including Cody Bellinger, Willson Contreras, and Alex Bregman, weighing how each would impact the roster and clubhouse dynamics.   The analysis reveals why replacing Alonso's 30-40 home run production isn't as simple as it seems, and why the Mets may ultimately keep their slugging first baseman. Get the full breakdown on Pete Alonso's future and the Mets' offseason strategy in this episode of Locked On Mets.

    MLB News and RUMORS: Free Agency is OFFICIALLY Open | Mets Add Two Players, Hire 3B Coach and MORE!

    The New York Mets face critical roster decisions as MLB free agency officially opens, with Edwin Diaz receiving a qualifying offer that could reshape the closer market.   The $22.025 million QO complicates Diaz's free agency while potentially securing draft pick compensation for the Mets if he signs elsewhere.   Meanwhile, the starting pitcher market presents challenges, as top arms like Franber Valdez, Dylan Cease, and Zach Gallen all carry qualifying offer penalties. Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets' strategic positioning, analyzing how luxury tax implications affect their pursuit of free agents and the surprising contract option decisions across baseball.   The episode covers waiver claims of Jose Castillo and Ji-wan Bae, plus the hiring of Tim Leiper as third base coach. Pete Alonso's first career Silver Slugger award and Juan Soto's sixth consecutive honor highlight the Mets' offensive firepower, while prospects Nick Morabito and Chris Suero earn Arizona Fall League All-Star selections. Discover how the qualifying offer system impacts the Mets' offseason strategy and which free agents make sense for their 2026 roster construction.

    SHOCKING: Mets LOSE Antoan Richardson to the BRAVES! | Who's to BLAME for NOT Getting a Deal Done?

    The New York Mets lost first base coach Antoan Richardson to their division rival Atlanta Braves, along with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner—a double blow that has the fanbase reeling.   Richardson, architect of the Mets' historically efficient base-stealing operation in 2024, couldn't reach contract terms with New York despite mutual interest.   Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down exclusive reporting revealing Richardson rejected the Mets' initial offer, shopped around, then circled back—only to find the team had already allocated their final pension slot to another coach. The episode examines whether the Mets cheaped out or if Richardson overplayed his hand by demanding a raise, pension benefits, and flexibility to leave for better opportunities.   With both coaches now bringing insider knowledge to Atlanta's clubhouse, the optics couldn't be worse for Steve Cohen's organization.   Finkelstein also discusses incoming pitching coach candidate Justin Willard from Boston's system and challenges the narrative that David Stearns' front office is failing, arguing the Mets remain a well-run organization despite recent setbacks. Tune in for the complete breakdown of this coaching controversy and what it means for the Mets' 2026 playoff hopes.

    Do the Mets FINALLY Line Up on a Luis Robert Trade? | The BEST Mock Trade for BOTH Sides

    The New York Mets and Chicago White Sox could be headed for a blockbuster trade centered around center fielder Luis Robert Jr., who just had his $20 million option picked up.   With the Mets searching for a center field solution while waiting for top prospect Carson Benge, Robert emerges as a high-upside target despite two injury-plagued seasons that have complicated his trade value.

The conversation also covers Shane Bieber's shocking decision to accept his player option with Toronto and what it means for the starting pitcher market.   Get the full breakdown of how the Mets could land their center fielder without sacrificing their top prospects.   JOIN THE LOCKED ON METS INSIDER COMMUNITY: https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonmets    Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicks Download the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONMLB to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.

  8. Contract Predictions for Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz | What Will it Take for the Mets to SIGN BOTH?!

    4 NOV.

    Contract Predictions for Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz | What Will it Take for the Mets to SIGN BOTH?!

    The New York Mets face critical offseason decisions with Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz both entering free agency.   Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down detailed contract predictions for both players, proposing a five-year, $150 million deal for Alonso with strategic deferred money that could lower the luxury tax hit.   For closer Edwin Diaz, who just opted out of his contract, a four-year, $80 million structure emerges as the sweet spot to retain the elite reliever. Finkelstein analyzes why Alonso should be the Mets' top priority, examining alternatives like Josh Naylor and Japanese import Munetaka Murakami while explaining how losing the slugger would leave a massive hole in the lineup.   The discussion includes luxury tax implications, vesting options, and how the Mets can structure deals similar to the Dodgers' deferred-money approach.   With Juan Soto named an NL MVP finalist and Francisco Lindor anchoring the roster, the Mets possess two top-five MLB players by WAR over the past four seasons. Discover the full contract breakdowns and offseason strategy that could shape the Mets' 2026 championship window.
