Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop an all-new episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Yoshinobu Yamamoto watch continues for the Mets and MLB. Connor and Joe go through all the latest in the pursuit of the star pitcher from Japan, as Yamamoto’s decision looms and will topple the dominoes for the rest of the offseason. The guys talk money, dinner at Steve Cohen’s house, what the Yankees and others have to offer, when they expect the news to come out, and predictions for what the contract will look like. Later, the show makes the call to the bullpen to discuss the addition of Yohan Ramirez and the overall relief pitching strategy shown so far by David Stearns. Finally, Connor and Joe open the Mailbag to answer questions about multi-year deals for other free agents, Brandon Woodruff, and the overall frenzy surrounding Yamamoto’s free agency. Be sure to subscribe to The Mets Pod at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
