For a Throwback Thursday, host Ryan Finkelstein revisits the biggest mistake the Mets have made in free agency under Steve Cohen. Signing James McCann early instead of waiting on J.T. Realmuto prior to the 2021 season.

Where would the Mets be if they had Realmuto over the past two years and how much would it improve their team this season?

Over the last week, the New York Mets showed interest in Adam Duvall, Trey Mancini and Andrew McCutchen, only to watch all of them sign with different teams. They have now added some outfield help though, as Tommy Pham has struck a deal with the Mets.

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down Pham's fit on the Mets and if he is a good bounce back candidate in 2023.

Ryan also dives into why the other free agents chose to sign with other teams and what the roster looks like with Pham on it as potentially the final offensive piece.

After failing to sign one superstar to take over the hot corner, could the Mets be in the market for another next offseason?

Manny Machado is expected to opt-out of his contract after next season to become one of the most highly-coveted free agents on the market. Could the Mets be the team that lands him?

Host Ryan Finkelstein is joined by the host of Locked On Padres, Javi Reyes, to discuss the possibilities.

As the news of Carlos Correa signing with the Twins has begun to settle in, it is fair to wonder if the Mets are actually better off having not signed him after all.

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the difference in contract offers between the Mets and the Twins and why guaranteeing $200 million over six years would have been a mistake.

Without Correa, the Mets are better suited for future spending and the door is now open for top prospect Brett Baty to try to live up to the billing of being the third baseman of the future.
