Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

We are still in a standstill when it comes to the Carlos Correa situation with the New York Mets, but is that really a bad thing?

Host Ryan Finkelstein explains why the Mets are sitting in a great spot regardless of what happens with Correa, because they have the leverage in these negotiations and if they decide to pass, there are more options to sign in the future.

With Rafael Devers and Manny Machado both potentially becoming free agents next year and the potential of a Brett Baty breakout in 2023, the prospects for the Mets at third base are great with or without Correa.

After agreeing in principle on a 12-year, $315 million deal with Carlos Correa, reports surfaced ahead of Christmas that the Mets had the same concerns over Correa's physical that led his deal with the Giants to fall apart in the first place.

Host Ryan Finkelstein discussed what a hard situation this must be for Correa, and goes through what could happen in the coming days.

Is the upside of Carlos Correa worth the risk that is attached, or should the Mets just walk away?

With the addition of Carlos Correa, the New York Mets infield is suddenly in the conversation for being the best in baseball.

A group that includes the reigning batting champ in Jeff McNeil, the MLB's leader in RBI's last year in Pete Alonso and two Platinum Glove winning shortstops in Correa and Francisco Lindor, few teams can compare to the Mets.

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the talent the Mets now possess and how it stacks up to the best teams in baseball.

After the return of Brandon Nimmo, the New York Mets are set to return basically the same starting lineup from last season.

If the team wants to improve, they will need to do so with internal growth and no two players could grow into their own more than Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty next season.

Host Ryan Finkelstein is joined by prospect expert Aram Leighton to discuss the Mets moves this offseason and how the team's top prospects could fare complimenting the new additions.

The New York Mets are currently planning on having Daniel Vogelbach play a big role as the team's primary DH next season. The only problem is he can't hit left-handed pitching and his lack of a position could hamstring the Mets when it comes to managing their roster.

Host Ryan Finkelstein weighs the pros of Vogelbach's bat against right-handed pitching against the cons of his lack of versatility and discusses whether the Mets should stick with Vogelbach or look to make an upgrade in free agency.
