Offseason drama waits for no one, as Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are back with an all-new episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, with the guys discussing the shocking resignation of GM Billy Eppler and what’s next for the organization under new president of baseball operations David Stearns. Connor and Joe go deep on the MLB investigation into Eppler, the possible use of the “phantom injured list,” what other fallout may come, and possible penalties that may result. Then they look ahead to the next steps for Stearns, including the search for a new manager, filling out the front office, building a stable organization moving forward, and moves to make the Mets better for 2024. Later, the guys talk about the type of manager needed for the current team, and the news that Pete Alonso hired Scott Boras as his new agent heading into his final season before free agency. The show then wraps by unwrapping the Mailbag with questions about offseason additions, Juan Soto trade scenarios, and the MLB postseason format.
