Dexter Henry is joined by Ashley Wensk and Samantha Croston from the podcast Why Am I a Mets Fan? to evaluate the team at the midway point. They dive into Mark Vientos’ brutal slump, Francisco Alvarez’s development in Triple-A, and why prospects like Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean are starting to turn heads.

Plus: what the Mets need most at the trade deadline, concerns about the rotation’s health, and the Citi Field crowd that keeps this team electric at home.
