The New York Mets evened their five-game series against the Atlanta Braves last night behind another well-pitched game from Tylor Megill and the bullpen. After an outstanding month of July, where Megill will likely be named the NL Rookie of the Month, has the young starter cemented a place in this Mets rotation?

Kumar Rocker, the Mets first-round draft pick this year, remains unsigned a few days ahead of the deadline to get a deal done. What’s the hold up with Rocker and should fans be concerned that a deal won’t get done?

Finally, we take a look at the different star bats that could be had at the deadline. Who should the Mets land, Trevor Story, Kris Bryant or Javier Baez?

Host Ryan Finkelstein laments what has been the Jerad Eickhoff experience for the New York Mets this year, as the starter gave up 10 runs in last night’s lost to the Atlanta Braves. Will this be the last time we see Eickhoff in a Mets uniform?

With Tyler Anderson coming off the board, and Max Scherzer looking to pitch out West, should Jon Gray be the Mets top target to add starting pitching depth at the deadline?

Also, Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso have once again become catalysts for the Mets offense in July. Are their struggles finally behind them?

The New York Mets came very close to getting swept in their doubleheader on Monday, as Jeff McNeil scored the first run of the day for the Mets in the fifth inning of the second game.

Listen for a preview of the remaining three games of this series. Also, Zack Scott spoke with the media prior to the doubleheader yesterday. What did the general manager have to say about the Mets approach at the trade deadline?

The New York Mets continue to lose players to injury, as Jose Peraza and Robert Stock are just the latest Mets to hit the shelf. Can the Mets afford to wait until the trade deadline to make a deal, or do they need to move now and bring some more major league talent to this roster?

When it comes to making trades, would acquiring left-handed starter Tyler Anderson and power-hitting infielder Eduardo Escobar be a good enough set of moves to get the Mets back on track?
