Riding the Mets Opening Week Roller Coaster

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop Episode 2 of The Mets Pod, SNY’s all-new podcast covering every angle of the New York Mets. Connor and Joe welcome SNY MLB Insider Andy Martino to the show for a look at the first turn of the starting rotation, as well internal and external options for help if injuries continue to hit the staff. The guys also do a deep dive into the immediate and long-term future for Jacob deGrom, and chat about the early moves of Buck Showalter. Later, Connor and Joe deliver some early season overreactions, Joe recaps what he saw from prospects Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty at Double-A Binghamton’s opening game, and the guys close the show by opening the Mailbag.
