Host Jake Brown returns with big updates as the Mets launch a pivotal six-game homestand to open the second half, starting with the Reds at Citi Field. The episode spotlights the emotional David Wright Day celebration—complete with freshly repainted retired numbers—and Jake reflects on Wright’s legacy alongside Jose Reyes on the left side. Plus, insider notes on pitching matchups (Manaea, Holmes, Peterson) and why the Mets’ 33–14 home record must kickstart a division chase with Philly holding the top spot. The show closes with major bullpen trade rumors: Cleveland’s Emmanuel Clase could be available, and Jake debates if the Mets should consider a blockbuster package for one of MLB’s best closers—with club control through 2028—while also mentioning Steven Kwan as a trade target possibility. Tune in for honest fan analysis, insider stadium scoops, and why Citi Field is set for a magical, meaningful weekend in Queens.
