SLOPPY: Mets Let One Get Away to the Marlins | Will Jonah Tong's Debut Spark a New Winning Streak?

The New York Mets let a crucial game slip away against the Marlins, dampening their playoff hopes. Despite sloppy defensive play, Clay Holmes' performance on the mound wasn't the main culprit. The podcast breaks down Jonah Tong's highly anticipated MLB debut, analyzing his dominant minor league stats and projecting his impact on the Mets' rotation. Host Ryan Finkelstein explores how Tong's elite fastball-changeup combo could trouble the Marlins' inexperienced lineup. The episode also covers Tylor Megill's rehab start and potential return, Francisco Alvarez's injury setback, and the Mets' challenging path to overtake the Phillies in the NL East race. Finkelstein examines how the rotation might evolve with young arms like Tong and Nolan McClean joining veterans like Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga.
