    What If? Mapping Out the Mets Season
    Mar 22 2026

    Spring Training is in the books, and the Mets open their 2026 season Thursday against the Pirates. Mike breaks down how Carson Benge moves front and center with Mike Tauchman sidelined, what the bullpen looks like without Craig Kimbrel, and the battle for that final 26th roster spot.

    Keith Raad of WCBS 880 joins the show to react to Howie Rose announcing his retirement, sharing stories from the booth, and his outlook on the 2026 club.

    Then Mike closes it out with a forward-looking breakdown of the season—key scenarios, player trajectories, and predictions on who takes a leap, who regresses, and just how good this Mets team can be.

    Part 1: Decisions, Decisions
    Mar 15 2026

    With the final week of spring training here, the Mets are facing some tough roster decisions. One of the more interesting moves came when Ryan Lambert was optioned to minor league camp despite a dominant spring showing. Mike Silva breaks down what that decision says about the organization’s roster philosophy—and why it could offer a preview of how the Mets handle top prospect Carson Benge on the position-player side. Mike explains why starting the season in Triple-A might ultimately be the best path for Benge’s long-term development.

    Plus, the Mets announced that Carlos Beltrán will have his number retired this summer. Does he deserve the honor? Mike makes the case that Beltrán may actually be the most underrated superstar in franchise history.
