Episode Notes
Spring Training is in the books, and the Mets open their 2026 season Thursday against the Pirates. Mike breaks down how Carson Benge moves front and center with Mike Tauchman sidelined, what the bullpen looks like without Craig Kimbrel, and the battle for that final 26th roster spot.
Keith Raad of WCBS 880 joins the show to react to Howie Rose announcing his retirement, sharing stories from the booth, and his outlook on the 2026 club.
Then Mike closes it out with a forward-looking breakdown of the season—key scenarios, player trajectories, and predictions on who takes a leap, who regresses, and just how good this Mets team can be.
