00:03what's up everybody welcome back to another edition of straight out of flushing we are back
00:07with you this week as the offseason continues dexter henry tyler ward aka wardy rocking with
00:14you wardy how you doing my friend dex i'm doing good uh listen mlb playoffs has begun unfortunately
00:20our mets aren't in it but we have a lot to get into this offseason when it comes to what
00:24is next
00:24for the club piggybacking off of what we talked about just over the past 24 to 48 hours so
00:30listen i'm excited uh especially now that 2026 is officially over for the mets i can just look
00:35ahead and be more my optimistic self which is something that i haven't been for the majority
00:40of the year there we go we got to get wardy back to some optimism this is what we want
00:43to do here we
00:44need we need to do that speaking of some optimism or i guess there could be some pessimism around here
00:49we heard david stearns address the media the other day and he talked about second base he was
00:54asked about marcus simian now we're going to keep it a buck here as we always do marcus simian
01:01not a good year uh here at all and i think wardy i'm kind of curious from you what was
01:05most
01:06disappointing about marcus simian because i did like the trade when they moved brandon nimmo to
01:10the rangers and acquired him just to get off a nimmo salary and the way he was kind of being
01:15you know
01:16injury prone and his numbers were declining as a player i saw the financial flexibility sense that
01:20that trade made but the thing for me was you thought with marcus simian even though his offensive
01:26numbers had been declining the last couple of years you thought you'd be getting solid defense
01:31even if he didn't hit that well you'd be a fine number eight hitter or nine hitter and you'd be
01:36okay with that but this is not what we got from him this year were you shocked by that is
01:41the thing
01:42that bothers you the most with marcus simian this year in 2026 the lack of defense that we saw from
01:46him
01:47i would definitely say the defense it fluctuated quite a bit throughout the season and listen it's
01:52to be expected to agree for a guy who's 35 now having turned 36 uh naturally these things are
01:57going to decline as time goes on inevitably but you know the bat is something that i did anticipate to
02:03be relatively the same had a level of optimism that he could go back to being that 20 home run
02:08guy maybe
02:08having a resurgence of a 70 to 80 rbi season with a mets offense that was deeper around him than
02:15his
02:15previous last couple years with the rangers with the lack of availability with guys not staying
02:18healthy and just the lack of consistency i was rather bullish on this mets offense entering the
02:23year as long as he could stay on the field but you know it was kind of one of these
02:26things where
02:27it's a combination of obviously simian falling short on the defensive value which is really
02:31the leading factors of why you have him alongside you know the so-called mentorship or you know captain
02:37quality that he brings during his time with the texas rangers but you just look at the aspect of
02:42not only simian and the defense along with him the bat we expected that but it really was this roster
02:48construction again you know if this was a mets team that stayed healthy stayed available i think
02:54simian would have had a more productive year batting in the lower half of this mets line than what we
02:59saw here in 2026 yeah simian finishing with a career low 620 ops that's not going to get it done
03:05at the plate i do agree with you i think the point you're making is a really good one had
03:10other guys
03:11maybe been producing around him the maybe need and we'll get to this to potentially upgrade a second
03:16base wouldn't look that dire but i think the major comments and takeaways you have to go with after
03:22hearing david stern's talk was that he wouldn't commit to marcus simian at second base and i don't
03:27know about you warden but i think that is a good thing i'm glad he wasn't committing to marcus simian
03:32the second base because look i'm not here to rag on marcus simian but i just he wasn't good and
03:39i
03:40think it might be the time for him to transition and for the mets as they're trying to move forward
03:45to 2027 into being that veteran leader mentor off the bench that could mentor a young guy who's going
03:52to come in and take the reins at second base and we'll get into what those possibilities could be
03:55but i think that might be the best role for him now you've always heard with marcus simian people
04:01have raved about his leadership that was part of the reason the mets made this trade too and i think
04:05as you're transitioning to getting some younger guys in here i do think his leadership matters
04:11to be an extension of andy green in the clubhouse i do think that can matter but maybe in terms
04:17of
04:17him as an everyday player anymore i'm not sure that's the role how do you feel about that and did
04:22you like that david stern's was pretty much like yeah we're not committing to him being i'll start
04:26in second baseman next year yeah you know i was encouraged to hear that from david because while
04:32obviously we should only take a grain of salt and what the mets president has to say to media because
04:36naturally uh he could say one thing and then reality can be another we've seen that trend obviously
04:41over the past two years but the one trend that we have seen that i think will stay consistent
04:46is when david talks about the youth movement with this mets organization you know a year ago he spoke
04:51glowingly about how the mets would like to keep an outfield spot open for someone like carson bench
04:57and to give him ample runway to see if he could really be that guy at the major league level
05:01a
05:01newsflash he most certainly uh proved that point for david uh we fast forward now a year later and
05:07the mets are positioning themselves to do the exact same thing again but this time with their infield
05:10talent that we'll get into in a second regarding guys that as david stated himself are knocking on the
05:16door in the mets farm but when we go back to you know talking about simian's role
05:21we've stated this verbatim from our last podcast over the past day or two and in previous shows
05:26on how that feels like that is about the mets need to go down i've been on record here stating
05:30exactly
05:31you that uh the mets simply cannot have a commitment at second base uh prior to david's turn stating
05:37the exact same thing himself so it's nice to hear david um be like-minded with myself uh because
05:42not that i believe i would make all the right decisions for the new york mets i think i would
05:46still
05:46be worse as a pobo in the end um it is nice when you can call some things out
05:50and be right about them and it seems that there's similar sentiment for him um so when i look at
05:55ultimately uh what his role would be for simian you know i just did a video on my platform yesterday
06:00i
06:00have a feeling we're going to do a conversation similar to this sooner than later and mine was on
06:04five mets who will not return for next season and there's a reason why i mark a simian on the
06:09thumbnail decks uh because while i like the mentorship aspect in which he can bring to the young players
06:15that we'll get into um i am also not loving the idea of buying into marcus simian making 26 million
06:23dollars next year as a soon-to-be 37 year old and having a net negative offense defense and base
06:29running ability as someone off the bench um could he be clutch in a moment sure but could the mets
06:35utilize
06:36that bench spot greater with someone that is at a fraction of the cost more than likely so throwing
06:41it back to you what's your thoughts on simian staying or actually being outright dfa'd and parted
06:48with by this mets team and needing that salary my mind hadn't even gone yet warty to those
06:54possibilities um of them parting ways moving him or dfaing him but you know you talked about the 26
07:01million dollar salary i believe that's also 24 million towards the luxury tax uh bill for the
07:06bets too right that he counts against so that's something you have to weigh and i think what we're talking
07:11about here with everything you just said and what i had said previously is okay well how much do you
07:16value his experience in the clubhouse or to the point you made is it better served on somebody who's
07:24maybe younger can give you a little bit more speed and maybe just as good if not better defense off
07:29the
07:29bench maybe doesn't hit as well is there somebody with more positional flexibility do you feel good
07:34about i'm going to mention another name here do you feel good about maybe bet brett baity excuse me
07:38being in that utility role who's a name that david sterns mentioned and i wanted to read this quote
07:44the full quote just so fans have it from david sterns stern said i think we're going to have options
07:50next
07:50year marcus didn't have the type of year offensively that he wanted that we would expect again i think
07:57brett showed us the last four to six weeks of the season what his ceiling looks like and as i
08:02said
08:02we need him to get to that ceiling more consistently now i i bring up brett baity in the utility
08:08role
08:09purposefully here uh warty because i think that's a role brett baity can occupy and be very well in
08:16having for the mets now some nets fans might be disappointed because when he came up he was
08:20projected to be a starter particularly at third base and everybody felt good about that but it hasn't
08:25gone that way my pause with david sterns on that and somebody did follow up forgetting who the media
08:30members and asked him and you and i were talking about this off camera yesterday they asked him
08:34was like hey well brett baity we saw the year before where he had a good finish to the season
08:38and his ops he still finished around 681 this year and i mean like it's like okay um we haven't
08:45seen
08:46consistency from brett baity i wouldn't go out and say hey hand him the second base job i'm not saying
08:51anybody should be handed the second base job to be very clear i think it should be open competition
08:56if brett baity comes out in spring and kills it and you want to give it to him and he
09:00earns it
09:00i'm kind of cool with that i don't know how you would feel about that i'm okay with that but
09:06i think
09:07the question that you bring up should the mets look at maybe moving on from marcus simian and i know
09:14there are fans out there that want to drive him to jfk la guardia right now and get it and
09:19get him up
09:19out of here i know there's fans who are seeing that who don't want him back or they could dfm
09:23that's a lot
09:23of money to eat not my money but you understand i think if i think the mets have to do
09:30whatever
09:30they think is best to feel the best roster in 2027 so if they think all that he's bringing is
09:36leadership and they don't believe there's any value with anything else and they do believe another guy
09:42particularly younger could bring them some more value both in the clubhouse as being you know just
09:47a vibes guy and also producing on the field whether it's defensively or offensively better than
09:53simian then they have to go that route the job has to be to put the best 26 man roster
09:58that you
09:58can and so i would support the mets if they feel like hey this isn't the way we're going to
10:03go and
10:03you know this about me too warty i always will say if you don't think something's working we talked
10:08about this with carlos mendoza it's a sunk cost if you think it's a sunk cost you've already paid
10:13the price for it you can move on again i get it it's not my money but i'm fine with
10:18them if they
10:18decide to move on i think they need to go the robinson cano route you know towards the end of
10:23his tenure with the new york mets right this is really very similar in comparison right you know
10:28an aging second baseman who's well past his prime and provides little value if any value to the club
10:34besides you know great experience and mentorship because obviously so many players love having
10:38robbie in the clubhouse but doesn't change the fact that he was well you know already past the
10:43player that he once was by the time he landed with the mets and that only happened because his agent
10:47was
10:47literally our gm at the time shut up brody van wagenen but the point here though with marcus
10:51simien is that he's someone where if you're the new york mets and if you're really focused on winning
10:56in 2027 um what do you say to yourself is a better scenario uh having 46 million dollars or so
11:02invested
11:03in simming the next two years and letting that ride out where he takes up a roster spot regardless as
11:09to how limited of a player he is or investing a fraction of that cost while still having to deal
11:15with
11:15that lump sum and eating that as dead money but say investing five million dollars or ten million
11:21dollars into a player that's going to give you twice the value than maybe what simming would
11:26otherwise provide for you there off the bench too you know what i mean like mentorship only goes so far
11:32when the mets still finished the year and the record that they had and the entire purpose behind
11:37landing simming was far less on the player and far more on it really being a contract swap the mets
11:42saved
11:42i believe north to 30 million dollars by having at least one less year in the contract than what
11:47they would have had with brandon nimmo otherwise so from the inception of the deal it had far more
11:52emphasis to do with really it being about not having as much of a tie down with an outfield contract
11:57for
11:58a memo who's going to profile best at dh more than likely soon and was a perfect guy to part
12:04ways with
12:04with passing the torch to carson bench yep it made justified sense for that reason alone the
12:09mets just found a partner to make this deal happen so when you think more and more about it it
12:14makes
12:14less and less logical sense as to why simming should be here when you again can go out and find
12:19someone
12:20either via the trade or free agent market um far less on the dollars and still is going to give
12:25you
12:25better impact i'd much rather go down the route of having the best player possible as that option
12:32than settling for the sake of contract stats i'm yeah i'm with you on that the other question i have
12:37for you because i just brought it up is where are you and the brett baity of it all in
12:41this like do
12:42you look at brett baity as a realistic option or are you looking at it more the way i do
12:47where it's
12:47like okay if he's a utility guy you're cool with that i'm more than cool with baity as a utility
12:54guy
12:54and i honestly have more confidence and comfortability in baity at second base on the daily than i do marcus
13:00simian as things currently stand i'd much rather the mets go into 2027 with brett baity as their
13:07quote-unquote veteran second base option along with the young guys i will get into here that are
13:12going to be battling out for that position too because in the end for the new york mets it allows
13:17them opportunity to give runway to guys with much higher ceilings of what's currently provided
13:22in simian and if that ceiling is not met or even close to scratch by time we reach the traded
13:29line
13:29then the mets can reassess and then do what they need to do to make a proper move to maybe
13:33bolstering
13:34that position maybe that can be a point of emphasis for them as long as they're in a playoff
13:39contention conversation by time we get to the halfway mark of the year i think that's a more
13:44than logical route for them to go down i think baity is someone who can be part of a winning
13:48club i mean
13:49we've seen that uh in stretches now it's just a matter of can he continue to hone in on um
13:55handling his
13:56role which is not a guarantee thing every single day to the best of his abilities um nothing will be
14:02handed as andy green has famously stated regarding multiple players already and i like that i think
14:07that's a huge part of building culture you just can't hand everything things have to be earned and
14:12i think that competition for second base will be good now when we talk about the options warty
14:16and specifically david sterns talked about it he said when i talked about the fact he said i think
14:20we're going to have options next year and he specifically said we have a host of really good
14:25minor league infielders who are knocking on the doorstep and so sitting here right now i'm not going to
14:30commit to what second base looks like next year but i do think we've got some really good players
14:33both at the major league level and prospects that are coming that can make a productive position for
14:37us now when it comes to prospects he is talking about the following he's talking about the number
14:41one prospect in the system that is jefferson rojas we have talked plenty about him on this program
14:46we're going to talk some more mitch voight also who had himself a fantastic year and emilien petre
14:54who you and i have talked about and think might actually profile as the young player that could
14:59be given the job out of spring training just because of his contact ability doesn't strike a low strikeout
15:06rate things that we like about his game overall it seems like a pretty solid defensively in the infield
15:11at second base um we've talked a lot about these prospects do you think all three of them
15:18will have a legitimate shot to win this job as long as all three are in the organization by time
15:27we get to the start of next that's a good point yes that's a good point um yes uh that
15:32i think that
15:33would be the biggest wrench thrown in this because um while you can never have too much of a good
15:38thing
15:38we saw a mets team let's not forget decks at the start of last year you know they trade acuna
15:43they part ways obviously with jet williams and then before you know what the mets have like no
15:48infield depth up the middle or you know at short lindor goes down with injury it's a mess you know
15:53you're banking on mauricio mauricio then goes down with injury right away and then you're just dealing
15:58with options when you say oh you know actually might have been beneficial if acuna was here or if
16:03jet williams uh did have a hot start to the year something like that so i don't think the mets
16:07need to
16:08trade an infielder just because they have uh maybe too much of a good thing at the moment
16:12um but i do think that there's an increased likelihood of that happening for them to make
16:17a move that will benefit them in a greater area of need so having said that when i look at
16:23rojas
16:24void and petrie i mean how can you not be excited at all these guys i'm getting a rightful opportunity
16:30to compete um naturally void is i believe the last on the list to get that immediate opportunity
16:36because he did not even get reps in syracuse yet right um so i think this is far more of
16:40a
16:41petrie versus rojas discussion and as our friend of the platform um will salmon uh recently came out
16:47in a great piece and stated how the rojas is essentially there already to be in the major
16:51leagues but uh you know he could have some things in the way by no fall of his own but
16:56just because
16:57the other successes the mets are having their farm ie petrie and others so um again it's a great
17:02problem to have if you're the new york mets and you know how this year was the blossoming of
17:07giving the outfield runway with the youngsters rotation runway well i think it goes without
17:13saying but 2027 is going to be all about this mets infield yeah i agree i when i read will
17:19salmon's piece um you know i was i thought it was interesting in the timing of it coming at the
17:24end
17:24of the year and saying that jefferson rojas is there and look i remember you sitting right here with
17:29me in studio trade deadline day and the mets get him and the excitement that the mets fans felt
17:35because you got a guy who immediately shot up to number one as a number one prospect in the
17:39organization this is a guy who had a 929 ops in 29 games in binghamton then hit three homers in
17:47his
17:47first three games in syracuse so he has shown that he can produce at least at the plate at every
17:53level
17:53and the ascension looks great now that doesn't mean we know that he's going to hit at the major
17:58level level excuse me and we know that the mets are going to be looking at is he ready is
18:02he going
18:02to be able to handle it what's the mentality like you talked about that a lot with carson bench
18:06coming into last year if he's ready the talent the fact that will salmon's talking about the talents
18:12there the mets love the hitting tools from him and his approach that's a really good thing if he's
18:17mentally ready for this to play in the major leagues even though third is supposedly the preferred
18:23position for him i i if he kills it in spring training like carson bench it if he i would
18:30love to
18:30see him take the job like carson bench it is basically what i'm saying if he can take hold
18:35of the job in that way and have himself a great spring comport himself well defensively in the
18:40field at the position and also show it at the plate i say give the kid the job um and
18:45don't don't worry
18:46about it but i like the fact that it could be his or petrie's to take i'm with you i
18:51put void third
18:51on the list even though the way void has hit has been very attractive to a lot of people and
18:58might be
18:59attractive to some people in trades not saying they should trade him but it might be that but i
19:03think i wonder how much of this is rojas is to lose will the organization empower rojas sort of
19:11the same way they did bench because that's something i think david stearns does deserve credit for
19:15they pretty much came into last year to spend training not handing it to bench but they empowered
19:21him to take advantage of this opportunity and i wonder if that same opportunity can be afforded to rojas here
19:29not only do i believe that is a strong likelihood you know spring training i don't know if we're
19:35going to have unfortunately given the pending lockout status but even with that throwing a bit of a
19:40wrench into things for these players to begin the year i think of a scenario again talking about
19:45especially if there is a world where marcus simian is not here right or say brep 80s part of with
19:51you know surprisingly because i i would find that a little surprising um all things considered
19:57there's a world where the mets could have next year where rojas and petrie could essentially be
20:04battling out and rotating early on in the year especially if there is not spring training like
20:09if they look ready the mets could go about it especially where they're just kind of flip-flopping
20:13going back and forth which i think would also make sense if i'm not mistaken i think petrie is a
20:18left-handed here don't quote me let me just double check right now i have it in front of me
20:22i just want
20:22to make sure that i'm talking right he is so you would also have the difference in having petrie as
20:27your lefty option for some games and then rojas as your righty option for games so already i think
20:33the mets could position themselves where they could really kind of let them battle it out and there is
20:38belief out there that petrie as good as he looks on the profile to be more of a you know
20:44as ernest
20:45dove stated a louis guirme type i think he has upside to be higher than that but you know as
20:52a
20:52floor as someone who's high contact and versatile in the infield that's coming off the bench um that's
20:59not a that's not a bad thing to have if you're the new york mets and then rojas as more
21:03of your
21:03immediate everyday player at second base because if he's playing short naturally he should be able to
21:08handle second um more smoothly and if he is going to be the mets third baseman in the future
21:13that begs the question what do you do with both buchette who is likely to opt in barring changes
21:17as we get into october tomorrow um it really is going to be interesting to see how the mets configure
21:23this because i think that they could have bow at first and have rojas at third and have petrie at
21:29second or you know baby at second for example for when they want certain matchups assuming simian
21:34isn't here or if simian is there he gets a start one of every three days even though you don't
21:38really
21:38want it you could go down different routes of having um you know say bow at third keeping
21:45rojas at second and then lindor at short um there's creative ways that the mets can go about this but
21:51it's again a good thing for them which i'm excited about because correct me if i'm ron's ex but it
21:56feels like it's been a hot minute since we've had a bit of excitement at the mets second base position
22:02like this and trying to figure out who's exactly going to be that guy like we've had some build up
22:08about baby mauricio but nothing truly like consistent and i think that has this kind of
22:14moxie heading into next season um it's it's really cool to see it unfold the way it has
22:19yeah that's why i like the competition and i think what you just said as we wrap here is
22:23is pretty good let's say petrie um who our friend of the show earners dove had mentioned
22:29as the luis guillaume type let's say that is the profile for him i'm with you i don't think that's
22:35a bad problem to have you're getting a guy who's a utility guy be a professional coming and hit
22:39he only played 20 games with syracuse hit 360 excuse me 260 not 360 had a 357 on base percentage
22:47you know i love the low strikeout rate he's a guy that can get on base it does not strike
22:53out a ton
22:53i i love that i apologize for cutting you off yeah i just want to mention do you know
22:58the stat regarding petrie and his k to walk ratio this season no put me on game he literally has
23:05like the best in all minor league baseball out of roughly 800 players he has the best
23:09k to walk ratio because he didn't even strike out 60 times this season when mind you we saw how
23:15much
23:15he struck out a year prior when they were trying to get more power in his swing and what do
23:20you see
23:20the home run difference from 2025 for petrie to 2026 literally a three home run difference okay um so
23:30i'm glad that he went back to his initial hitting approach and we're seeing him again blossom the
23:35way that he has in 2026 he knows his game he knows i like that he seems like a guy
23:40and listen we'll see
23:40how that is when he gets to the major level but he knows what his approach is and what his
23:44game is
23:44when he goes to the plate and that's something i like and i think those are winning players whether
23:48he's an everyday player or is he a utility role player i think either way he the profile of him
23:53i like for this mets team and like you said if rojas becomes an everyday starter and you really like
23:59because the mets just love his upset upside as offensively they think that can go a lot higher
24:04and he is 21 so we got to remember that rojas 21 petrie's 23 so the age thing becomes a
24:09factor
24:10there but i think the mets like rojas is upside particularly offensively more than like petrie but
24:15that doesn't mean petrie can't be valuable as a major leaguer so it's gonna be very interesting
24:20to see last thing before we go we'll make a little prediction here you think marcus simian is on this
24:26team in 2027 or not no no marcus simian ty wardy sounds like he's ready to drive marcus simian to
24:34the
24:34airport himself that's what it sounds like you are ready to drive him to the airport yourself
24:39i just text you know i was having a lot more thought with it and talking to people around the
24:44team recently and it's not like obviously that anything has been factually reported yet on that
24:50front it just if the mets are actually staying true to some of the things that they say because
24:55we know cohen can say something a couple months ago and then they do the contrary like you know
24:59doing an extensive managerial search thinking that you know andy green wasn't going to be part of
25:04they did do their due diligence according to um david sterns but you get my point here but um the
25:09point though that i think i'm trying to make though is that um and i and i apologize what did
25:14i just say
25:14second ago i had a complete brain now you said no you don't you don't think simian will be on
25:18the
25:18roster in 2027 correct yeah i don't think he'll be on the roster because again if you're the mets if
25:24you're trying to maximize having the best players there and how it shouldn't just be handed to you
25:28i think it kind of does a disservice to the young players who are rightfully competing for spots
25:33if you're seeing the guy here who is of course missing the mark and basically all facets of
25:38their game where he's a step or two behind other guys when he's only here because of his contract
25:43status you know cohen has shown his willingness in the past to eat dollars when right he's shown that
25:49multiple times including dealing with a veteran at second base so why not go ahead and do that again
25:54and bring someone in either internally or externally at a fraction again of that cost
25:59that's going to give you better immediate output like it really doesn't make any logical sense to
26:04keep him on the roster the more that we think about it with his age with his value and if
26:09you only have
26:10to invest to say five or ten million more on top of the 46 million that you already owed to
26:15simian
26:16i think you could bite that bullet and be happy with that knowing you're getting better output than
26:20biting the bullet on eating 46 million and allowing a guy to be here that's going to be scratching
26:25around a 600 ops each of the next two seasons and doesn't provide strong base running or defense
26:32anymore you know it just it does make same thing as we have the conversations with yentos again when
26:37you don't have any aspects of your game that are a positive and a plus or it's like nick moribito
26:43has
26:44elite speed a very strong glove and he's just getting his career started justified reasons to have
26:49them on the roster and off the bench as at minimum a fourth outfielder a late game replacement
26:53you can't make these justifications with these type of players when they don't provide any positive
26:58value consistently and the areas that you need them to so i apologize for the ted talk at the end
27:04of
27:04the show here but like it just the more i think about the more it just becomes clear is my
27:09point
27:09the more you've talked about it i kind of started the beginning of the show saying hey i would you
27:14know maybe try to evaluate what his value is and can he give some mentorship leadership to the team
27:19but the more you've talked about it and i weigh the sunk cost opportunity with the fact of like
27:25could you get better value yes you're going to pay more you're probably going to pay a lot for a
27:28player
27:28that won't be here or eat a good amount of his salary but if like you said you bring a
27:32guy in for
27:32extra five or ten million dollars that can actually give you more on the field because the goal is to
27:38win right people the goal is to win that's what you should want to do so the more and more
27:42i think
27:43about it i'm rocking with you i will say this i don't know if you will or will not be
27:47on the team
27:48none of us know i don't have a crystal ball but the more you've now talked about it wardy has
27:52made
27:52me think probably best if he's not i think it would be best for the mets moving forward to just
27:58cut ties new era at second base let these young guys battle it out or if you need to bring
28:04in a
28:04veteran that's a little bit younger to come off the bench and guide those guys along which is a cool
28:10thing and i think that could be dope too go and do that so yeah i'm so marcus simian i
28:15guess what
28:15i'm saying is thank you for your service we appreciate it and now it's time to move on speaking of
28:20moving on we're gonna move on from this episode of straight out of flushing let us know what you
28:25think about marcus simian should he be with the mets in 2027 who should get the starting job at
28:30second base for the mets in 2027 is it one of these young guys is somebody else that they should
28:35trade for what do you think let us know in the comments that's going to do it for this episode
28:39of straight out of flushing that is my guy tyler ward aka wardy i'm dexter henry we'll catch you next
28:44time on another edition of straight out of flushing peace
