Episode Details

New York Mets’ playoff hopes fade as Freddy Peralta struggles again—has his trade value vanished?  

Ryan Finkelstein spotlights Peralta’s nightmare outing against the Brewers, detailing the ace’s ballooning 5.01 ERA and recapping the rough night for Luis Robert Jr.  

The Mets’ strategy of showcasing trade pieces ahead of the deadline comes under fire, with scouts and fans alike questioning whether meaningful returns are still possible for these veterans.

Finkelstein ranks the potentially available rental starting pitchers across MLB, evaluates the depleted market, and debates whether the Mets can salvage any value for Peralta.  

Insights on recent trends, contract complications for players like Kevin Gausman and Robbie Ray.  

Can the Mets turn disappointment into opportunity, or are they set to lose big on their latest win-now moves?
