The Jeff McNeil deal, Top 100 Mets prospects, and is Pete Alonso on deck?

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo extend Episode 47 of The Mets Pod, as Jeff McNeil agrees to a contract extension with the Mets, and eyes now turn towards a potential deal with Pete Alonso. Connor and Joe break down the numbers for McNeil, examine what it would take for Alonso to forgo free agency to sign a new deal now, and take a quick look at the current bullpen market right before spring training. Later, the guys discuss some of the recently released Top 100 Prospect lists, and do deep dives on Kevin Parada, Alex Ramirez, and Brett Baty. Finally, the show goes back to the Mailbag, with questions answered about banners at Citi Field, subtractions to the roster, backup plans for first base, and how many catchers the team may carry with Francisco Alvarez possibly in the mix.
