Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo deliver the latest episode The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Mets continue to deliver new relief pitchers to their bullpen while spring training approaches. Connor and Joe break down new additions Jake Diekman and Shintaro Fujinami, take another swing at DH analysis, and reveal what young slugger Mark Vientos needs to do this season to be considered a success. Later, the guys go Down on the Farm for a deeper dive into Joe’s recently-released Top 30 Mets Prospects List, and talk about some interesting storylines they’re excited to follow during spring training. Finally, the show closes by opening the Mailbag to answer questions about other internal DH options, and potential surprise success stories within the 2024 Mets. The Mets Pod also unveils a road trip, as the show will travel to spring training for a live episode at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie on Saturday February 24th at noon eastern, right before the first spring training game for the Mets!
