Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are back with another episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Mets look to fill their present bullpen and look to build their future starting rotation. Connor and Joe explore the current free agent market for relief pitchers that can help the team in 2024, including Hector Neris, Adam Ottavino, and others that are still out there to be signed. Later, the guys go down on the farm for a long-term look at the future of the Mets starting rotation by talking about the development of prospects like Blade Tidwell, Tyler Stuart, Dom Hamel, Justin Jarvis, and Calvin Ziegler. Connor and Joe also go down the designated hitter rabbit hole once again, chatting up the DH options in free agency (hello again Jorge Soler, Rhys Hoskins how are you?) and also wonder if the Mets just plan to roll with Mark Vientos instead. Finally, the show jumps into the Mailbag for questions about City Connect jerseys, faith in prospects Christian Scott and Mike Vasil, and which of the present members of the starting rotation will potentially be part of future starting staffs.
