Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo deliver the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the winter meetings approach and the hot stove is about to heat up for the Mets and the rest of MLB. Connor and Joe cover the latest noise surrounding the sweepstakes for Japanese star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and discuss alternate pitching options for the Mets via free agency or trade, such as Jordan Montgomery, Tyler Glasnow, and other ideas to fill out the starting rotation. The guys also talk about John Gibbons as bench coach, and dive into the Mailbag to answer questions about lineup predictions, bullpen options for 2024, pitching prospects, and more.
