With all of the injuries to the New York Mets starting rotation right now, the conversation has been about whether they should look to add another starting pitcher on the trade market. Instead though, would it make more sense for the Mets to address their catcher position by acquiring Willson Contreras from the Chicago Cubs?

Host Ryan Finkelstein explains why Contreras would be a perfect fit for the Mets and why they should also target reliever David Robertson in the deal. He then goes on to examine what it would take to make the trade work for Chicago.

Ryan talks about all this while the Mets wrapped up their West Coast game (listen for live reactions as the Mets scored seven late runs), then recaps everything that took place in San Francisco to close out the show.

The New York Mets were dealt with devastating news on Thursday, but it did not prevent them from winning yet another series. Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil starred in a thrilling back-and-forth victory, with the Polar Bear delivering the biggest moment, a moonshot of a walk-off homer.

The New York Mets lost big on Wednesday night, as Tylor Megill was knocked around for eight runs and did not make it out of the second inning.

Host Ryan Finkelstein reacts to the loss and also revisits the Francisco Lindor blockbuster trade for a Throwback Thursday.

Considering the Mets hot start this season and the roles that Lindor and Carlos Carrasco have played, was this a win of a trade for New York?

Then again, Andrés Giménez is hitting the cover off the ball in Cleveland right now, as he has statistically been better than Lindor to start the season.

Ryan breaks down both sides of the trade just over 17 months later.
