Mets Miracle Math and the Yankees’ Trade Deadline Reality

The Mets are far outside the playoff picture, but what would it take to make their season interesting again? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the winning streak, record, and pitching turnaround required to create even a hint of belief before the trade deadline. They also explain why the Mets still need to sell, why the Yankees should target dependable upgrades instead of chasing a superstar, and how fewer impact players are reaching free agency. Plus, Tiki reflects on choosing retirement before the Giants won a championship, while Don Mattingly’s surprising success and uncertain future with Philadelphia spark a larger debate.
