The New York Mets need a top-tier closer to complement Edwin Diaz for a World Series run. This episode analyzes potential trade targets, from established closers like Ryan Helsley and Aroldis Chapman to emerging stars like Felix Bautista and David Bednar.  

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down each option's strengths, contract situations, and likelihood of being moved at the trade deadline.  

The ultimate prize? Twins flamethrower Jhoan Duran, whose 100 mph fastball and devastating splitter could form an unbeatable late-inning duo with Diaz.  

Finkelstein also explores how acquiring a closer impacts Edwin Diaz's future with the team and the potential prospect costs.  

Get the inside scoop on how the Mets can bolster their bullpen for a championship push – listen now to unlock the keys to New York's relief pitching strategy!
