David Stearns' trade deadline approach, Francisco Alvarez is back with the Mets, and David Wright day reaction

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo look back at the week that was coming off of the All-Star break. Leading off, Connor and Joe talk about the Mets offense playing small ball, Francisco Alvarez' return to the big league club, and Brett Baty's contributions to the lineup. Then, the guys discuss the upcoming trade deadline and how president of baseball operations David Stearns plans to approach next Thursday for the Mets. Connor and Joe also share their reaction to David Wright's number retirement and go Down on the Farm to discuss potential position player call ups.
