Welcome to episode 14 of The Terry Collins Show. The weekly podcast covering all things NEW YORK METS. We lead off with the Mets hot July and now positioned in the Wild Card race. We discuss the evolution of Brandon Nimmo from the Rookie TC managed in 2016-17. Terry discusses his managing the 2016 All Star Game. The special guest on Talkin with TC is former long time General Manager of the Mets - and current MLB Network analyst and host of its morning podcast and SiriusXM show - STEVE PHILLIPS. Phillips discusses how he got Mike Piazza in 1998 and how his 7 year extension was his easiest negotiation ever. On the flip side - why he didn't close the deal with Alex Rodriquez for the Mets in 2000. And his memories of 9/11. And - learn how Doubleday and WIlpon came up with the $21 million dollar number which bought the Mets! You'll be AMAZED! Plus we honor another Tunnel to Towers AMAZIN HERO OF THE WEEK!
