The Mets Pod Daniel Murphy stops by the show, and a full 2024 Mets season preview
Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop a jam-packed 2024 season preview episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as special guest Daniel Murphy stops by the show! The guys chat with the 2015 NLCS MVP about how this year’s team compares to the surprising Mets squad that went to the World Series in ’15, what he thinks J.D. Martinez will bring to the ballclub, his thoughts on the younger players on the team, what he saw in new manager Carlos Mendoza during spring training, what it was like working in the SNY broadcast booth, and so much more. Later, Connor and Joe take the temperature of the starting rotation, bullpen, lineup, and defense of the Mets heading into the regular season, and then drop their 2024 season predictions that will prove to be right on or way off, but always fun! Finally, the show dives deep into the Mailbag to take on questions about the organization’s farm system, the workload ahead for Francisco Alvarez, the Mets’ playoff chances, and some very early trade deadline speculation.
