Live from Citi Field, talking Mets new era of David Stearns, Ronny Mauricio, Jett Williams, and more
Episode description
Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are live at Citi Field with the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the guys pay another visit to the Cadillac Club in right field to meet up with Mets fans. Connor and Joe start things off with reaction to the news that David Stearns will soon be named President of Baseball Operations for the Mets, and discuss what it means for the short and long-term future of the organization. The guys then go deep on Pete Alonso, Ronny Mauricio, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and other offseason possibilities. The show then goes down on the farm for updates on prospects Ryan Clifford, Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuna, Blade Tidwell, and Jett Williams, and finally opens the mailbag wide for questions about what Stearns will do with the scouting department, potential trades, and Mets of the past.
