Big Friday for the Mets. Biiiiiiiggggggggg Friday. Steve Cohen opened up his wallet and pulled in Eduardo Escobar, Mark Canha, and Starling Marte in a 5-hour window. We break them down and offer very fair expectations for each. Kevin Gausman seems to be next on Uncle Stevie's list and we talk about what that could mean for Marcus Stroman. We close the episode by telling you guys what each of our starting lineups would be before being interrupted by the worst Hall of Fame ballot of all time.

Happy Thanksgiving! Early drop!!! Aaron Loup is GONE and we break it down. Some Mets fans are freaking out but we are not quite there. James took a journey through Baseball-Reference and found 7 relievers who have seasons most similar to Loup and showed why it is unlikely the king of Busch Lite can repeat his success to that extent. Afterward, we get deep into the Japanese phenom Seiya Suzuki and talk about what kind of player he currently is in Japan and just how it will translate to the major leagues. We learn a lot about Hideki Matsui during this segment, that guy was criminally underrated. We close the show by trying to figure out just what the Mets were thinking in letting some of their minor league depth go last week when 40 man rosters were due. Hint, we are not sure.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

James texted Marc "we have nothing to talk about" on Monday night and then all hell broke loose. Noah Syndergaard is an Angel and we are shocked. Billy Eppler is our GM and we're not thrilled. James doesn't know where Japan is. Luis Rojas is the Yankee's new third base coach and that's funny. JimBob made another stupid comment about analytics and we make fun. The episode gets serious when we break down Marcus Stroman's future in light of recent contracts given to Eduardo Rodríguez and José Berríos. What we think he will get, what he should get, and how he matches up with the remaining free-agent pitchers. It's the best Marcus Stroman break down on the internet, guaranteed. We end the show with our Brett Baty interview from the Arizona Fall League. The audio isn't perfect but Brett is so stay tuned for that! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We are back from Arizona and have an action-packed episode ready for you guys! First off, Pedro Feliciano passed away and we pay our respects to the G.O.A.T Loogy. Then, things get dicey when talking about the status of our front office. Why the Mets aren't hiring a president, why they can't persuade talent to join the organization, and some talk on new GM-frontrunner Adam Cromie. Afterward, we quickly wrap up our player grades focusing on the bench, bullpen, and back-end of the rotation. The last 30 minutes of the show is dedicated to our off-season preview for the Mets. What direction we think they can go, who are options, and analyzing some free agents we'd like the Mets to chase. James thinks Trevor Story can be a fit and gets way too excited when talking about Alex Cobb. There was also somehow a dispute about Frankie Montas.

Live from Phoenix, the boys open up with Zack Scott being officially fired this week by the Mets. Everyone thought it was a pretty good move...except Buster Olney. Or did he? It's hard to tell because he contradicts himself every couple of weeks. Lucky you, we spend about 25 minutes outlining each of his recent contradictions, hope you like it! After we got that out of our system, we continued with our player grades and took a look at Dom Smith, Taijuan Walker, Carlos Carrasco, James McCann, and Tylor Megill. The show ends with some POBO talk and man has this situation gotten boring. So boring that we had to move it to the end of the show. Well, enjoy this one because we sure did. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Jam-packed episode! Who said the off-season was not fun? The search for a president of baseball operations is getting a little bit scarier and while still optimistic, our confidence is beginning to waiver just a little bit. Afterward, we give props to our boy Jeremy Hefner for getting his option picked up and comment on Luis Rojas interviewing for the Padres' managerial vacancy. Then we dive back into our player grades giving out marks for Edwin Díaz, Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo, and Seth Lugo. James really breaks down where Lugo struggled this season and how he can instantly regain his 2019 form, fantastic content here. The show ends with a discussion on Javy Báez: who he was this year, who we think he can be in the future, and a debate on what type of contract he will get. This was a lot of fun. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mets have officially missed out on their POBO 'Big Three' and people (baseball media people) are freaking out about it. We tell you why this is not a big deal and James dives into about 10 other executives who could and SHOULD be in play in an attempt to kill this narrative. Andy Martino also dropped a rumor that the Mets and Javy Báez were talking about a contract, so we touch on that briefly. Afterward, it's Sporcle time! Listen to us try to name all 64 players who appeared for the Mets this season. With the whole roster fresh in our brains, we start our Player Grades segment, getting through the five most important Mets from 2021. We close the show with an AFL (aka Brett Baty) update. Packed off-season show woooooo! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys are back from their quick hiatus with a jam-packed offseason episode! We start out with the news that Luis Rojas will not return to the Mets as manager. Sure, it happened a while ago but we haven't spoken since! Marc and James differ on who they would like to see as the next Mets manager and James breaks down what he thinks the modern baseball manager could look like. Really, this all comes down to our next President of Baseball Operations and GM, so we touch on that for a while and the CRAZY rumor that it could be Paul DePodesta. That discussion takes us to a conversation about where the Mets' roster stands and I have some bad news....it's not great. We close the show with a fun poll about Álvarez posted last week by Anthony DiComo and some listener shoutouts. No games can't slow down the Mets'd Up Boys. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The season has finally, mercifully come to an end. We tie up the loose ends of this Braves series. James talks about how Tylor Megill can be used most effectively in 2022 while Marc reminisces on his guy, Jeurys Familia, in what was probably his last outing as a Met. The games were the games, they happened, Thor looked bad, Pete didn't get to 40, whatever. We ramble about baseball for a little while before sharing our plans for the off-season.
