Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo welcome former New York Mets relief pitcher Turk Wendell to Episode 55 of The Mets Pod, as the crew talks all things Mets past and present. Connor and Joe chat with Turk about Max Scherzer, the Edwin Diaz injury, bullpen roles moving forward, the pitch clock, the type of athlete it takes to succeed in New York, the most under-appreciated Mets player from Turk’s era, the current team, and what song he’d use as walk-out music if he was still pitching today. They also discuss some great Mets fan events that Turk will be in town for on March 25th for Mets Amazin’ Day, check out mets.com/amazinday for more information. Later in the show, the guys talk about Brandon Nimmo getting hurt, and also how they see the roster shaking out ahead of Opening Day. Finally the show closes by opening the Mailbag, with questions answered about Francisco Alvarez struggling with the bat this spring, trading for additional relievers, and watching movies on the new Citi Field scoreboard.
