The MLB Trade Deadline has arrived... and instead of buying for a playoff run, the Mets find themselves as deadline sellers after one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory.
This week, we're joined by WFAN radio host Al Cintron for a special Trade Deadline episode as we break down what David Stearns should do, who truly belongs in the Mets' long-term core, and what this deadline means for the future of the franchise.
Before diving into the deadline, Al shares his Amazin' Beginnings—his lifelong Mets fandom, his journey to WFAN, and what it's like hearing from Mets fans every day on New York's biggest sports radio station.
⚾ In this episode:
🔹 Al Cintron's Amazin' Beginnings & journey to WFAN
🔹 Did anyone see the Mets becoming deadline sellers?
🔹 Is Francisco Lindor really untouchable?
🔹 Can Mets fans trust David Stearns to lead this rebuild?
🔹 Which current Mets should be part of the franchise's long-term core?
🔹 Juan Soto's injury and whether he should return this season
🔹 What would make the final two months of 2026 a success?
🔹 One year from now... how will Mets fans remember this trade deadline?
Will this deadline become the turning point that launches the Mets back into contention... or the beginning of a much longer rebuild?
💬 Let us know in the comments:
Which current Mets player (outside of the obvious core) would you build around—and who would you trade if the right offer came along?
