Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are back with Episode 13 of The Mets Pod, as Max Scherzer continues to work his way back to the Mets, and the guys talk about the possibility of Mad Max pairing up in a battery with Mets top catching prospect Francisco Alvarez for a night in Double-A. Connor and Joe also discuss pitching targets at the MLB Trade Deadline, reveal their votes for Mets to make the All-Star Game, and break down the Braves and the race for the NL East. Later, the guys open the Mailbag to take on questions about trade strategy and Buck Showalter’s influence on the team.
