Things are slooowwwwwww here in Mets Land. The manager search has narrowed down to three finalists, Buck Showalter, Joe Espada, and Matt Quatraro. We talked extensively about Showalter and Espada last week so James sheds some knowledge on Quatraro's background and explains why he would be a good fit. The Mets also keep hiring new members to their Research and Development team and we touch on that. Next, the MiLB draft was last week and we scout the new players. I told you, things are slow. Last but definitely not least, we decided we wanted to do a draft. While an all-time Mets team was a little bit too easy, we decided to draft a team of the 'most Mets Mets ever'. Yeah, you heard me. All the failed FAs, busted prospects, aging veterans, and chaotic relievers are here.

Major League Baseball may be locked out but we aren't! Marcus Stroman and Javy Báez signed contracts since we last spoke so we start the show out by breaking down what they got and what it could mean for the Mets moving forward. Then we jump into ALL the managerial rumors coming at us Mets fans. James tells us 'who is Joe Espada?' and breaks down why he could be a very logical choice. Then we both break down Buck Showalter and explain why his accolades and 'experience' are being overblown. Next comes some dreaded CBA talk. We offer a very simple explanation for what's going on, how baseball came to this point, and a glimmer of hope and how it can get resolved. The show closes with a few minutes on the Veteran's Committee Hall of Fame ballots and a congratulations for Met-lifer, Gil Hodges.
