More Mets moves on the way, as the MLB Hot Stove heats up

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are back with Episode 33 of The Mets Pod, as Mets manager Buck Showalter takes home the NL Manager of the Year Award, and the hot stove is heating up with Mets moves to come. Connor and Joe dive into the developing markets for Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, Carlos Rodon, and Japanese ace Kodai Senga. Later in the show, the guys chat about the latest Brandon Nimmo rumors, the waiver claims of potential bullpen additions Tayler Saucedo and Stephen Ridings, the team’s decision to pick up the option on Carlos Carrasco, and the organization’s new hires of Jeff Albert as Director of Hitting and Eric Jagers as Director of Pitching Development. Then it’s time for this week’s Mailbag, with questions and answers about Chris Bassitt, Mets walk-up and warm-up songs, plus expectations for Edwin Diaz, Mark Canha, Carlos Carrasco and Luis Guillorme.
