Episode Details

Juan Soto’s All-Star Game debut as a National League starter is a fan-fueled moment of joy for Mets supporters — after skipping last year, he’s now the only Met on the roster, soaking in the love and even mulling a Home Run Derby run. But while Soto shines, the Mets themselves are in freefall, losing 12 of 14 games, including a brutal 14-3 blowout on national TV, deepening their 17-game deficit. Despite managerial changes and injuries inching toward recovery — Clay Holmes nearing a bullpen session, Jorge Polanco progressing — Luis Robert’s rehab hitless game adds to the frustration. Meanwhile, the Braves and Phillies dominate the All-Star stage with five players each, and the Phillies just pulled off a savvy international trade to sign a young Taiwanese pitcher — all while Soto’s solo spotlight feels like a stark contrast to the league’s powerhouse rosters.
