The Mets Traded for Chris Bassitt, Signed Adam Ottavino, and There is Probably More to Come

Zack Scott Fired, Buster Olney Stinks, Jacob deGrom Speaks, Player Grades, and more President of Baseball Operations Talk: Live from Phoenix, the boys open up with Zack Scott being officially fired this week by the Mets. Everyone thought it was a pretty good move...except Buster Olney. Or did he? It's hard to tell because he contradicts himself every couple of weeks. Lucky you, we spend about 25 minutes outlining each of his recent contradictions, hope you like it! After we got that out of our system, we continued with our player grades and took a look at Dom Smith, Taijuan Walker, Carlos Carrasco, James McCann, and Tylor Megill. The show ends with some POBO talk and man has this situation gotten boring. So boring that we had to move it to the end of the show. Well, enjoy this one because we sure did. --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support</a> by Mets'd Up
