Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

New York Mets make a bold move, naming Andy Green as manager—can he become the franchise's next great leader?
Ryan Finkelstein breaks down Green's journey from interim role to official manager, spotlighting his organizational connections, player relationships with Bo Bichette and Francisco Lindor, and the Mets' strategy to build a winning culture.
Green's growth from his Padres tenure to recent leadership is compared with legendary MLB managers, raising the question: is this the perfect fit David Stearns claims?
Key discussion highlights include reflections on Mets managerial history, the pressure facing Green’s three-year contract, and how the team's young arms and breakout rookies AJ Ewing and Carson Benge set the stage for a turnaround.
On the field, the Mets push the Texas Rangers out of a playoff spot with a dominant pitching performance, while Sean Manaea, Francisco Alvarez, and Carson Benge deliver crucial plays.
Can Green’s leadership sustain this momentum into 2027?

In the first game with Andy Green as the full-time manager, the New York Mets started their final road trip of the year with a 6-3 against the Texas Rangers.

The good vibes from the pre-game announcement of Green staying on as the Mets skipper carried over to the game, with Sean Manaea delivering a quality start and Francisco Alvarez having a nice night at the plate.

Offensively, the Mets took advantage of the Rangers sloppy defense for a couple of runs and it was a pair of doubles from Alvarez that led the way.

As for Manaea, he finally got through a sixth inning without any trouble. He also added 9 strikeouts over his six innings of work.

With the Rangers still hoping to land in the playoffs, the Mets can continue their spoiler role tomorrow night in the second game of this series.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down all the action after the game.

New York Mets’ gamble on Marcus Semien backfires as Brandon Nimmo has outperformed him in Texas.
Did the front office misjudge Nimmo’s impact and the risks of unloading his contract?
Ryan Finkelstein scrutinizes the Nimmo-for-Semien trade, comparing Nimmo’s age-33 campaign and advanced stats to Semien’s struggles at second base.
The show explores how the move failed to bolster the Mets’ defense, the development of outfield prospects AJ Ewing and Carson Benge, and the ongoing issues with over-the-hill second basemen—a familiar Mets misstep since Roberto Alomar and Robinson Cano.
Key talking points include Juan Soto’s fit as a designated hitter, implications for roster flexibility, and whether cutting ties with past contracts finally sets the Mets up for future success.
Series preview and critical questions about the franchise’s direction round out a sharp, data-driven analysis.
