Former Mets pitcher Trevor May joins the show to talk MLB, Mets, and more

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo welcome former Mets pitcher Trevor May to the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the guys chat about all things Mets, MLB, and more with the recently-retired reliever. Trevor talks to Connor and Joe about why he retired, all the new content creation opportunities he’s taking on now, stories from his time with the Mets, and his thoughts on David Stearns, Francisco Alvarez, and the organization’s future. Trevor also shares his feelings about the use of analytics in MLB, reliever entrances from the bullpen, the current playoff format, and also ranks his favorite video games of all-time. Connor and Joe then wrap the show with a Mailbag question about evaluating prospects. Be sure to subscribe to the show at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
