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.

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.

For the first time since his 2025 postmortem press conference, David Stearns addressed the media — and Mike Silva has plenty to say. In this Talkin’ Mets short, Mike reacts to Stearns’ comments on Edwin Díaz, Pete Alonso, the Mets’ new coaching hires, team defense, and the futures of Brett Baty and Mark Vientos.

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? Plus, Mike closes the episode with his biggest mailbag segment yet — did your question make the cut? Tune in to find out. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Dodgers are World Champions — proof that even the most talented, highest-paid team still needs a little baseball luck to finish the job. In today’s MLB, building a playoff roster is a strategic endeavor; winning it all is unpredictable. This offseason, David Stearns holds the keys to both payroll flexibility and elite prospect capital. How he manages them will define his tenure in New York. Join Mike as he breaks down the Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso contract situations, explores potential pitching upgrades through trades or free agency, and decides which current Mets should stay — and who should go.

This latest pre-Hot Stove edition of the podcast kicks off with Mike Silva examining Edwin Diaz's current contract and assessing whether there is enough of a market for him to opt out. Better question: Can the Mets live without him? Ernest Dove of The New York Mets Dove Report joins me to talk about AFL prospects - specifically Nick Morabito and Chris Suero, what prospects should be available to trade this offseason, and the organization's philosophy on hitting and pitching, and how it relates to the coaches hired.

On the latest edition of the Talkin’ Mets podcast, Mike Silva outlines what the Mets rotation needs. Hear him talk about Tarik Skubal and other aces and what he would and would not give up. How do the Mets get innings from their staff? What about acquiring the next Skubal that hasn’t put their potential together? Can they use a Kevin Costner “ For the Love of the Game” type of veteran to give them moxie and some mentorship? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today’s show kicks off with Mike Silva discussing what kind of owner Steve Cohen will be five years into the quest for a championship. Since he didn’t fulfill his promise of delivering for Mets fans, will we see late 80s Steinbrenner or a more balanced approach? Is the pressure from the media and fans going to negate the kind of team building that David Stearns is known for? Pete Alonso wants a seven-year deal. Is that reasonable? Mike Silva discusses where Alonso stands historically, the intangibles he demonstrated this past season that changed his mind, and the bind the team faces if he decides to go elsewhere.
