 Pop‑Pop, Braden, and special guest Johnny are back on Baseball Bonds to deliver a midseason report card on the New York Mets. With the team sitting at 55–42 just past the All‑Star break, the trio dives deep into player performances, key stats, and overall team grades.
Braden shares grades for hitters like Francisco Lindor (A+), Pete Alonso (A), Brandon Nimmo (B+), and Juan Soto (B), along with evaluations of under‑performers such as Mark Vientos (C) and Francisco Alvarez (C–). The pitching staff also gets a review—David Peterson earns an A+, while Edwin Díaz locks down the bullpen with an A.
They close out with a lively discussion on the trade deadline, emphasizing the importance of adding prospects to an already top‑ranked farm system. The episode wraps up with optimism for the second half and a hearty “Let’s go Mets!”
