The New York Mets could transform their outfield and rotation if Byron Buxton hits the trade market. Is a blockbuster move brewing in Queens?

Ryan Finkelstein explores the possibility of acquiring Buxton, Joe Ryan, or Pablo Lopez from the Minnesota Twins, weighing the risks and rewards in a center field market thin on elite talent.

Trade rumors swirl as Finkelstein assesses mock deals, prospect packages, and team needs—factoring in names like Mark Vientos, Brandon Sproat, and AJ Ewing.

The episode spotlights Scott Boras's latest statements on Pete Alonso, the Mets’ interest in Cody Bellinger, and how GM meetings could reshape roster decisions.

With the Mets targeting key upgrades and facing tough choices at first base and in the outfield, the stakes for their 2026 campaign rise.

Will New York pursue star power or trust homegrown talent like Carson Benge to turn the tide?
