Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline joins Rob Bradford to give his perspective on Gilbert, and a few other early Trade Deadline success stories.

Episode 169 - Mets vs Mariners (Ronny Mauricio's major league debut) Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

The Mets take two of three from the Seattle Mariners. It could have been a sweep if Peterson, Ottavino and Vogelbach didn't do what they normally do. On top of that, Ronny Mauricio makes his debut and does nothing but get five hits in three games along with a pair of stolen bases. Will the final month of the season secure a roster spot for Ronny or any of the other young kids?
