Breaking Up is Hard to Do

from Talkin' Mets · host Talkin Mets with Mike Silva

The first weekend of Spring Training games gave us the usual box scores filled with has-beens and long shots — but the real story wasn’t on the back fields. It was Steve Cohen’s comments about not supporting a team captain… and the far more revealing nugget about the front office that flew under the radar. On this episode of Talkin’ Mets, Mike breaks down why the minor league backfields may be the most important real estate in the organization — especially as a looming labor agreement could restrict big-market teams from flexing their financial muscle in free agency. If importing stars becomes harder, development becomes everything. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
