About this episode
On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo cover some wins out west and the homestand ahead. Leading off, Connor and Joe recap the week that was, including big-time offense from Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Jeff McNeil. The guys also look at Ronny Mauricio so far and what his ceiling could possibly be.Later, they go long on the ongoing bullpen-building strategy of David Stearns, go Down on the Farm to check in on prospect Carson Benge, and go tough on Connor for “missing Marte” on The Scoreboard. Finally, the winner of last week’s sweepstakes is revealed and the Mailbag delivers questions about developing relievers and the very unlikely possibility of bringing Jacob deGrom back to Queens.
