Wait, They Traded Nimmo?
Talkin’ Mets made a little history tonight.
Just as Mike Silva was about to dive into a mailbag question about trading Brandon Nimmo, the news about the Nimmo for Marcus Semien deal broke live on the show.
This episode goes out completely unedited. Mike opens the program reacting to Jeff Passan’s latest Mets rumor mill and explains why the club should not move Brandon Nimmo under any circumstances.
Later, Mike breaks down Adam Ottavino’s recent comments from the Baseball & Coffee podcast — including his thoughts on David Stearns, Carlos Mendoza, and how the Mets handled their pitching staff.

Far East Options
It’s that time of year again. Retired Daily Yomiuri and Kyodo News baseball writer Jim Allen returns to the show to break down this offseason’s top Far East imports, offering detailed scouting reports on Munetaka Murakami, Kazuma Okamoto, and Tatsuya Imai.
Mike also recaps the GM Meetings and explains why he believes the Mets are likely to stand pat on the position-player front as they prioritize re-signing their own free agents.

Life Without Alonso & Diaz
Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz are officially free agents — and while it’s in the Mets’ best interest to bring both back, what happens if market forces push them in another direction?
Mike welcomes Sports Illustrated’s Pat Ragazzo to explore alternative paths for David Stearns as he builds toward a 2026 title run. Could names like Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette, Alex Bregman, Robert Suárez, or Raisel Iglesias emerge as realistic Plan B targets?
