Episode Notes

New York Mets face tough roster questions as top prospect AJ Ewing catches fire in Triple-A.  

With Luis Robert Jr. sidelined and the offense struggling, is it time for the Mets to call up their electrifying center field phenom?  

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down Ewing’s scorching stats—highlighting his elite speed, improved power, and game-changing athleticism—while weighing the risks of promoting a 21-year-old to spark the lineup.

The episode spotlights recent roster moves including the addition of Andy Ibanez and the ongoing struggles of Carson Benge, Brett Baty, and MJ Melendez.  

Finkelstein examines potential lineup shuffles, future call-ups, and the Mets’ pitching matchups ahead of their crucial series against the Los Angeles Angels. Can the Mets snap out of their April slump as they take on Mike Trout and a surprisingly potent Angels offense?  

Find out what’s next for a team desperate to ignite its season.
