Baseball calls this morning. Met fans are happy for the most part, except for Steve and Merrick.

And that's 8888-0-1019. That's the Red Pocket mobile fan line, brought you by your new

ultimate cell carrier Red Pocket Mobile. Freddie Peralta, trade is complete. And you're going to throw him

right at the top of that rotation with Nolan McLean. And yes, you had to say goodbye to some prospects, but they are that.

They are prospects.

And hopefully this is a season where the Mets are back in the postseason and competing for a championship against the best teams in baseball.

And we're not thinking about the prospects.

And sometimes the prospects come back to bite you and sometimes they don't. Like Pete Crowe Armstrong did. But. Well, look, we got Benj. Got Benj. Do you like Benj? We got, we got Jonah Tong. Yeah. We got him still. Yeah. We still got, we still have prospects. No, there's prospects still around. And they got a very good farm system still. You like Benj? Yes. I've never seen Benj. Don't know anything about Benj, but I'm not sure, but you say you like Bench. I happen to love Bench. Yeah, I don't know a ton about him either, but yeah. I mean, he's, but he's ours. He's ours now. And it should be, should be one of those turnarounds from the fan base where everybody was canceling season tickets and going crazy and saying, how could you get rid of everybody that we love?

Well, now the roster feels pretty complete.

You know, they bench and Inge are related.

No, I don't.

No, I do not.

I don't think they get together when

they're both in new york either okay for the picnic uh let's go to jean in smithtown what's going on

jean hey guys what a difference a month a month makes man i was uh kind of like most met fans uh down

uh with the uh loss but you know I'm, I am legitimately excited.

But my one question is, you know, and obviously with the farm systems, you know,

that's why you have a great farm system to make trades when it's going to value the team in the immediate.

So, you know, I'm a little upset to give up Jet Williams, but you got to give to get,

get to give, whatever that expression is.

But question, do we think Stearns will extend?

I mean, that's the thing, you know, is it just a pure rental?
