Podcast: Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets
Published On: Sat Jul 11 2026
Description: New York Mets’ second base future is up for grabs as top prospect Mitch Voit heats up in Brooklyn.   Can Voit become the long-term answer with Marcus Semien’s decline accelerating and internal options thinning after key trades?   Ryan Finkelstein examines Semien’s ongoing struggles, contract situation, and what his defensive drop-off means for the Mets’ infield strategy going forward. Mitch Voit’s breakout performance—.305 average and .902 OPS in June—sparks new hope for a homegrown solution.   Voit’s athletic profile, versatility between shortstop and second base, and elite speed put him in the spotlight as a potential 2028 starter.   Key topics include Brett Baty’s resurgence, free agent targets like Jazz Chisholm and Luis Arraez, and whether the Mets should spend or trust their farm system.   Ryan Finkelstein also recaps the loss to the Boston Red Sox and discusses pivotal roster moves—including Kodai Senga’s evolving role and Mark Vientos’ injury timeline.
