Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are back with an all-new episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the guys do a deep dive on new Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns and preview the playoffs for the prospect-stocked Double-A Mets affiliate. First up, Connor and Joe welcome Will Sammon of The Athletic to the show to talk all about Stearns, as Sammon covered the Mets future POBO when he covered the Brewers, and now will cover him again in New York. The guys cover Stearns’ history in Milwaukee and exactly what he will bring to the Mets. Later, Jacob Wilkins, the play-by-play voice of the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, stops by to talk about Luisangel Acuna, Drew Gilbert, Kevin Parada, Jett Williams, Blade Tidwell, and more of the Rumble Ponies as they get ready to play on in the Eastern League Playoffs. The show then winds down with the mailbag to answer a question about potential free agent targets for the 2024 Mets starting rotation. Be sure to subscribe to the show at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
