DUMPING Tommy Pham Isn't Fixing Anything | What DRASTIC Measures Can Be Taken to Fix the Mets?!

New York Mets’ season spirals as Tommy Pham is cut and key players continue to underperform.  

Can firing manager Carlos Mendoza salvage a lineup that’s been lifeless since the Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto injuries?  

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ latest shakeups, from DFA’ing Pham after just 13 at-bats to picking up Austin Slater and pondering if AAA call-ups like Christian Pache or Nick Morabito could offer a spark.

Key topics include the Mets’ offensive struggles, the uncertain future of Kodai Senga in the rotation, and the questionable effectiveness of recent roster moves.  

Ryan Finkelstein examines whether internal options can turn the tide or if radical decisions—like changing managers—are the only hope before the season slips away.  

Will the Mets’ upcoming matchup against the Washington Nationals be a turning point, or is a full rebuild inevitable as the trade deadline approaches?
