Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

For the first time since Mother’s Day, the New York Mets swept a series, taking both games of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Washington Nationals.

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the series sweep and is joined by Jordan Grossman for the debut of the new Friday Farm Report segment. Jordan talks about some of the pitchers who are making their way through the Mets farm system, as well as discussing the rise of top third base prospect Brett Baty.

The New York Mets evened their five-game series against the Atlanta Braves last night behind another well-pitched game from Tylor Megill and the bullpen.

What’s the hold up with Rocker and should fans be concerned that a deal won’t get done? Finally, we take a look at the different star bats that could be had at the deadline.
