Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop in with an all-new episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as Mets prospects show their stuff and major league spring training heads to the finish line. Connor and Joe lead off the show with big picture thoughts from Port St. Lucie, then react to Steve Cohen’s comments to the media about Pete Alonso’s future along with other Mets topics. Then, the guys examine the competition for the final spot in the starting rotation, the final battle for bullpen slots, and the spring outcomes so far for Mark Vientos, Brett Baty, DJ Stewart and Ji Man Choi. Later, the guys completely break down the Spring Breakout Game, including Joe’s performance during the broadcast, as well as performances on the field by Mets prospects Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat, Dom Hamel, and more. Finally, the show wraps up by unloading the Mailbag, with questions answered about Francisco Alvarez’ place in the batting order, J.D. Martinez, and the future of free agency for the Mets.
