Mets send Brett Baty down, other Mets prospects rise up, and what to watch with the big league club

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, with long looks at Brett Baty being sent down and new Mets prospects rising the ranks. Connor and Joe examine the future for Baty, and how he can bounce back from his struggles at the major league level with some additional time at Triple-A Syracuse. The guys then go down on the farm for deep dives on prospects Luisangel Acuna, Drew Gilbert, Ryan Clifford, and Jett Williams. Later, Connor and Joe list four important things to watch with the big league team for the rest of the 2023 season, and open the Mailbag to answer questions about Mets pitching prospects and Mets getting hit by pitches.
