You weren’t dreaming, Mets fans. The Mets really did acquire Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco from the Indians last week. It leaves Jack and I asking a couple questions: Is this the most exciting team the Mets have put together in recent memory? And, and the Mets the team to beat in the NL East?

We also introduced a new mailbag question, so be sure to sound off on our Twitter. Who was the first Mets player that truly captured your interest in baseball?

This week, we also discussed what the team’s next move should be. We’re not convinced signing George Springer is the best way to allocate the team’s remaining budget, and it’s certainly not the only effective strategy we see on the table. Can the Mets trade for Kris Bryant? Should they sign Jackie Bradley, Jr.? What other creative solutions have we thought of?

And, of course, we remember some guys to round out the episode! Enjoy the episode Mets fans. Be sure to respond to our mailbag question on Twitter and your answer might be featured in next week’s episode.
