Podcast: Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets
Published On: Wed Jun 10 2026
Description: New York Mets face major questions as Freddy Peralta struggles and contract demands raise trade speculation.   Can the Mets afford to give Peralta an eight-year deal, or is his tenure in New York already nearing its end?  Ryan Finkelstein breaks down Peralta’s rocky outing, contrasts his current ERAs and quality starts with last season’s dominance, and examines reported negotiations compared to deals like Max Fried’s and Dylan Cease’s. Injury updates take center stage with Francisco Lindor nearing return, Jorge Polanco stalled by ankle issues, and Kodai Senga sidelined, intensifying the Mets’ roster challenges.   Finkelstein discusses bullpen uncertainties, potential trade returns, and the implications for New York’s playoff hopes.   As the Mets struggle to reach .500, the upcoming pivotal homestand against the St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves could determine the season’s direction.   Will the Mets’ core step up, or is a roster shakeup on the horizon?
