Joe DeMayo and special guest co-host Jerry Blevins deliver another live 2023 Winter Meetings edition of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as Joe and Jerry continue to hold out for news on Yoshinobu Yamamoto and other potential Mets moves. SNY Mets Reporter Steve Gelbs joins the show from on site at the MLB Winter Meetings in Nashville, and reveals what it’s like at the hotel as the entire baseball world waits for updates, and also discusses options for the Mets in the starting rotation, outfield, and bullpen. Later in the show, Jerry shares what the winter meetings are like from a player’s perspective, and the guys answer live questions from fans about free agency, the future for Pete Alonso, the chances of Yamamoto getting more money than Gerrit Cole, and the idea of Ronny Mauricio being a designated hitter.
