Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. 

This week, we begin by continuing to gush over the fact that Juan Soto is a Met. And now it is official with his introductory presser last week. We discuss the Clay Holmes signing and what the Mets might do to fill out the rest of the rotation. 

We also chat about the news that David Wright’s number will soon be retired and that the Lindors are expecting their third child. 

Next, we talk about the other major signings and trades that have happened throughout baseball. We also talk about a Pitcher List article that does not paint a flattering picture of Orioles GM Mike Elias.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Because it is the anniversary of Bernie Madoff’s arrest, Steve, Lukas, and Ken start off the show by discussing some of the biggest contract heists in Promote, Extend, Trade.

Following that, they go over the results of the 2025 MLB Draft lottery, which took place on Tuesday, December 10 at the MLB Winter Meetings. The Washington Nationals will be making the number 1 overall pick, while the Mets will be making their first selection with the 38 overall pick.

After, the guys discuss who the Mets gained and lost in the major league and minor league portions of the annual Rule 5 Draft.

Allison, Brian, Grace, Lukas, and Thomas from the Home Run Applesauce network break down Juan Soto's insane contract with the Mets. Come celebrate with HRAS.

Grace is back with some news to discuss. There's been no Soto movement but the Mets did sign a pitcher, and a former Met signed a somewhat bizarre contract. Grace also touches on the proposed "Golden At-Bat" rule and how stupid it is.

Next, Grace discusses what has been a truly terrible week for trans rights. Between Nancy Mace's crusade on Capitol Hill bathrooms, the Supreme Court upholding the ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and Barbra Banda being subjected to heaves of transphobic abuse, there's more than enough reasons to lose hope. But grace argues against that thought, and provides some drive to keep pushing.

Finally, Grace has a lowkey, vibes type Christmas movie for her movie minute. And as a bonus, it's a Long Island based film!

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. 

This week, we begin by discussing the latest Juan Soto rumors and are giddy with anticipation that we are approximately a week away from this all being over - for better or for worse. 

We discuss the moves the Mets have actually made, including signing Frankie Montas and trading for José Siri, the latter of which we have some misgivings about.

We also talk about Jared Porter’s first public comments about the sexual misconduct that led to his firing by the Mets, the fact that your team can sign contracts with deferred money just like the Dodgers, Francisco Lindor continuing to be underrated, and more. 

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas start off the episode by highlighting the importance of Dinovember and celebrating the important dinosaurs in our lives in Promote, Extend, Trade. Following that, they look back at their three previews made before the 2024 minor league season began and review how they all did. Spoiler alert: there were more whiffs than a hypothetical Mark Reynolds/Nolan Ryan at-bat.
