Well, Mets fans, it has been a busy couple weeks since we last spoke. We're even coming to you under different circumstances. In case you missed it, Pleasant Good Evening is now an independent podcast, but don't worry because the content train still rolls on.
In the wake of the Jared Porter scandal and the recent news of Mickey Callaway also being a serial creep, we wanted to provide a spotlight to a couple of our favorite women in baseball content creation. So, joining us on podcast this week is Allison McCage (@PetitePhD), one of the hosts of Amazin' Avenue's exceptional women-led podcast, A Pod Of Their Own (@APodOfTheirOwn). Allison helps us break down the recent slew of Mets depth acquisitions - Jordan Yamamoto, Aaron Loup, Albert Almora, and the three arms the Mets got in exchange for Steven Matz - and gives her thoughts on why the Mets' offseason feels disappointing.
We are then joined by Allie Kaylor (@cincinnallie), assistant sports editor of the Daily Orange, Syracuse University's student newspaper, and resident online Reds fan. She tells us about her experience having to watch Trevor Bauer as a fan and helps break down why the Mets dodged a bullet when Bauer spurned the Mets for the Dodgers.
