Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are prospecting on the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as they break down the big Mets names on the big baseball prospect lists, and also look for more offseason additions to the team in the weeks ahead. With Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America releasing new prospect rankings for 2024, Connor and Joe take the time to check in on Jett Williams, Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuna, Christian Scott, and other Mets minor leaguers making moves in the eyes of evaluators around the game. The guys talk about the development of the players in the Mets system, and preview where many of them will play in 2024. Later, Connor and Joe chat about the approach of David Stearns to building the Mets now and in the future, and also discuss the recent international signings by the organization. Finally, the show opens a stuffed Mailbag to answer questions about Josh Hader, Brandon Woodruff, Matt Allan, and Starling Marte.
