Jon Saponoro of the ’Til Mets Do Us Part Podcast’ joins Dexter Henry this week for 'Dugout Discussions'. The guys discuss the young arms shaping the Mets’ future to the lineup boost of getting Álvarez back, and what Kodai Senga’s demotion really means.

It’s been a rollercoaster week in Flushing. The Mets lost Francisco Álvarez and Frankie Montas, recalled Huáscar Brazobán, and signed Ali Sánchez for catching depth. But we also saw the Amazins’ offense break out and Nolan McLean flash frontline potential.

The Mets have lost __ of their last 18 games but in the middle of the struggles, Pete Alonso became the franchise’s all-time home run leader and Nolan McLean dazzled in his MLB debut.

The trade deadline is in the rearview, but the Mets are reeling after a brutal losing streak. In Episode 11 of Straight Outta Flushing, Dexter Henry talks with New York Post Mets beat writer Mike Puma to answer the big question: are the Mets truly built for a postseason run, or have they been living in the pretender zone all year? Plus, we break down Pete Alonso tying Darryl Strawberry’s franchise home run record, why Frankie Montas’ time in the rotation should be over, and some lighter moments from the week in Mets baseball.

David Stearns made serious moves at the MLB Trade Deadline bringing in Ryan Helsley, Tyler Rogers, Gregory Soto, and Cedric Mullins to boost the Mets’ bullpen and outfield. But with July in the rearview and the NL East race tightening, it’s time for the offensive core Lindor, Nimmo, Alonso, and Soto to rise to the occasion.

The countdown to the MLB Trade Deadline is on, and the Mets just added Gregory Soto! Is this just the beginning?

This week on Straight Outta Flushing, Dexter Henry is joined by WFAN host Evan Roberts to break down the biggest issues facing the Mets right now. From Francisco Alvarez’s return, to trade deadline pressure on David Stearns, and whether or not Francisco Lindor should be named team captain.

Plus Brian Wright of Metsalgia joins the show to reflect on David Wright’s number retirement, his legacy with the Mets, and whether his career still resonates like a Hall of Famer in the hearts of fans.

The Mets have hit the All-Star break! So where do they stand, and how far can they go?

The Mets just took back-to-back series from the Brewers and Yankees and suddenly the energy in Queens feels different. On Episode 6 of Straight Outta Flushing, Dexter Henry is joined by WFAN's Danielle McCartan to break down the Mets’ bounce-back week, Juan Soto’s electric Subway Series performance, and whether David Stearns needs to strike early at the deadline.

After a month of blown leads, ugly losses, and now a season-ending injury to Griffin Canning, the 2025 Mets have fans asking: Is this the real team?
