We say hello again to Sean Manaea, coming back to the Mets after dabbling in free agency. We say goodbye to Rickey Henderson, the leadoff legend for all time (15:00). We say hello to Curtis Grandersonâs name on the Hall of Fame ballot and remember what made him such a special player in Flushing. And we say goodbye to 2024 on National League Town by noting a change to our lineup for 2025 (38:15). Happy new year to all NLT listeners from Greg and Jeff...and as always, Letâs Go Mets.

A fifteen-year contract suggests Juan Soto will be spending the rest of his baseball-playing life as a New York Met. The number 5 in the Citi Field rafters confirms David Wright has been, is and will always be a Met for life. The way heâs conducted himself tells us Art Shamsky has devoted much of his life to the legacy of the 1969 Mets. National League Town hopes youâll have the time of your life listening to Greg and Jeff talking about each of them.

Puuttuva jakso?
-
Juan Soto is a New York Met. What else is there to say? Whatever it is, Greg and Jeff couldnât be happier to say it.
-
We welcome Frankie Montas to the New York Mets. We welcome Jose Siri to the New York Mets. Given the chance, we will welcome Juan Soto to the New York Mets. The so-called âgolden at-batâ Rob Manfred is reportedly buzzing about? We show that concept to the door.
-
Itâs Thanksgiving week, so letâs be thankful that as lifelong baseball fans, weâve been fortunate enough to experience quite a few ballplayers still around to be reminded by fans that theyâll never be forgotten. Join Greg and Jeff in appreciation of some legendary players, Met and otherwise, who made indelible marks on the game we love.
-
National League Town looks back at three baseball legends whoâve recently passed: the most prolific hitter of all time; the pitcher who generated a mania all his own; and a cat we couldnât hear enough about. Join Greg and Jeff as they remember Pete Rose, Fernando Valenzuela and, yes, Hadji.

Click and refresh all you like. Juan Soto is not yet a Met. Whether or not he will be is the steamiest Remains To Be Seen component of this Hot Stove season, but there are other matters to preoccupy Mets fans everywhere, including the ones at National League Town. Will Pete Alonso stay? Will most of our rotation go? Who will move to new positions? What heretofore total stranger will play his way into our hearts next year? Greg and Jeff have no conclusive answers, but that wonât stop them from thinking out loud. Also, they remain very high on the value of Francisco Lindor.
-
How great was 2024 to be a Mets fan? Thatâs one of the questions Greg and Jeff ponder as they conclude their reflections on a year they didnât see coming, yet are grateful to have lived through.
-
Greg and Jeff always believed in the 2024 Mets, especially once they gave up on giving up on them. National League Town retroactively pieces together its realization that â despite some stubborn cynicism that beset each of our co-hosts â the Mets were slowly but surely forging an unforgettable season.
-
Congratulations to whoever won the World Series, specifically for ensuring who didnât win the World Series. Mostly, in the wake of a fifteenth consecutive joyous Elimination Day, we look forward to what could be a year from now. You never know, but itâs enough at this point to think of the Metsian possibilities.
-
With the NLCS over, weâre wearing black, but like the Mets on Fridays, only for a day. Mostly weâre celebrating the 2024 club taking us through the postseason as far as they could. Weâre sorry to leave it all behind, but weâre oh so glad to have been as immersed in it as we were.
-
Did we give up after falling down three games to one in the National League Championship Series? Donât feel compelled to answer that. The important thing is the Mets won Game Five, the NCLS extends to a sixth game, and Greg and Jeff are filled with hope. Mets fans couldnât ask to be filled with much more.
-
The bases were loaded. Mark Vientos was up. Then the bases were unloaded and the Mets were soon on their way to tying the National League Championship Series at one game apiece. Sound familiar? A Mets fan could get used to clutch postseason grand slams when not squirming uncomfortably while crossing fingers, toes and everything else that a sizable lead doesnât shrink, let alone vanish. The emotional whirlwind is all part of the rich tapestry of October baseball that continues to make for a month like few others in Mets history. Greg and Jeff come up for air long enough to savor it before going back to alternately high-fiving and worrying their heads off.
-
The bases were loaded. Francisco Lindor was up. Then the bases were unloaded and the Mets were soon on their way to the National League Championship Series. Greg and Jeff relive the latest Greatest Moment in New York Mets History; discern among excitement, anxiety and this strange thing that must be confidence; and say goodbye to a team of rivals by pointing them to the ever-expanding couch of vanquished postseason opponents.
-
Atlanta to Milwaukee to Atlanta to Milwaukee to Philadelphia to, at last, Citi Field. The New York Mets are coming home to play Games Three and Four of the National League Division Series with one win in their pockets and two on the table for the taking. The NLDS in progress, featuring two intensely familiar rivals, has represented gripping baseball, and sure enough, Greg and Jeff are holding on for a helluva ride the rest of the way.
-
The Mets being in the postseason is an all too rare phenomenon that no Mets fan wants to end. Good thing Pete Alonso made sure this feeling like no other would continue. Greg and Jeff marvel at the Polar Bearâs âmost memorableâ moment and the vital contributions of several key teammates in overcoming Milwaukee in the Wild Card Series and bringing on Philadelphia for the Division Series.
-
Greg and Jeff put on the Champagne goggles and toast the 2024 postseason-bound New York Mets.
-
Backs and other anatomy up against the wall, the Mets had to win their final game in Milwaukee to have a reason to go to Atlanta with their heads held high and their playoff chances better than slim, and they did it. Greg and Jeff revel in the revival of Met fortunes, featuring much love for Francisco Lindor, Francisco Alvarez, David Peterson and J.D. Martinez. Not so much love for Rob Manfred, but what else is new?
-
On a show where parallels to 1969 are invoked repeatedly, Greg and Jeff conclude itâs quite possible the 2024 Mets arenât miraculous so much as they are good. Whatever they are, they have entered the final week of their season positioned to do Amazinâ things, and when set against how this season began, we can understand why we just brought the word âmiracleâ into the conversation.
-
National League Town remembers Ed Kranepool, a Met presence like no other. We also look ahead to the next steps of a playoff chase that couldnât be much tighter; share a few things we learned from an afternoon at the library; and toast a very happy couple
