This year’s trade deadline is about more than adding or subtracting players—it's a defining moment for the Mets' future. Mike Silva explains why the next week is critical, as David Stearns and the front office must not only maximize their assets with an eye toward 2027, but also begin establishing a clear organizational identity at a time when fan apathy is growing. Mike also makes the case that Carlos Beltrán remains one of the most underappreciated stars in franchise history, and closes the show by addressing listener criticism over his measured approach to evaluating the Mets' front office.
