S5 E7: The Impact of AJ Ewing, Benge Heating Up, Stop With The Analytics & Let The Kids Play, Injuries Piling Up, Hypothetical Buying/Selling Trade Scenarios

from Cup of Mets · host Ian Bozsnyak, Matthew DeSantis

The future may be arriving faster than expected in Queens. This week, we break down the growing impact of AJ Ewing and why his emergence is turning heads throughout the organization, while Carson Benge continues to heat up and make his case as one of the most exciting bats in the system.We also dive into the ongoing frustration with over-managing through analytics and discuss why it may be time for the Mets to simply let the young players play through mistakes and develop naturally at the big league level. With injuries continuing to pile up across the roster, questions surrounding lineup construction, player usage, and organizational depth are becoming impossible to ignore.Plus, we explore several hypothetical trade scenarios as the deadline slowly creeps closer — should the Mets buy, sell, or attempt to walk the line between both? Which veterans could become movable pieces, and what type of additions would actually make sense for the future of the organization?All of that and more on this episode of the podcast!FOLLOW on Instagram, YouTube & X: @cupofmetsSUBSCRIBE on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your favorite podcasts!DOWNLOAD The SeatGeek App - Use Code: "CUPOFMETS" to get $20.00 off!
