This week on "The Put it in the Books Show," Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the perpetually walled-off Producer Joe dissect a buffet of Mets developments that are more satisfying than finding an open parking spot in Manhattan on the first try. First up, "teamwork is making the dream work" seems to be the new mantra as the Mets not only talk the talk but also walk the walk—all over the Yankees, sweeping them for the season. It’s like finding out your little brother is actually good at baseball—surprising and a little bit sweet. As we hit the halfway mark, it's time for first-half grades. Who’s the valedictorian of the Mets and who’s still eating glue? Plus, with the trade deadline approaching, the gang will debate what the Mets need more than Keith needs a mute button during Rodriguez’s rants. The trade winds are blowing, and Vientos is in the eye of the storm. Could he really make Pete Alonso tradeable, or is that just as likely as Producer Joe winning an award for visibility? Senga
