Talkin Mets with Mike Silva

Talkin Mets with Mike Silva


The Dog Days of August

August 07, 2016

Tonight John Delcos of the New York Mets Report to talks to Mike Silva about the latest in Mets baseball.

They dissect the Mets deadline moves and whether it was a wise decision for Sandy Alderson to acquire Jay Bruce for Dilson Herrera. Is Jon Niese an important part of the rest of 2016? With Logan Verrett’s struggles it’s not far-fetched.

John tells Mike why the Mets need to move away from Yoenis Cespedes this offseason, if he opts out and how his golfing incident is a bigger problem than Terry Collins let on. He also believes the Mets will not break away from this Wild Card “muck” of teams and miss the playoffs in 2016.

They grade Alderson and Collins throughout the segment. Delcos puts much of the blame on Alderson while Silva tends to believe both Terry Collins and Dan Warthen have done a poor job in the dugout this year.

They wrap-up the program with a fun “what-if” when it comes to Alex Rodriguez and how Mets history would have changed if he signed on with the club after the 2000 season.
