Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop Episode 46 of The Mets Pod, which features a look at the remaining relievers on the free agent market, a chat about spring training storylines surrounding third base and prospects, and a dive into the Carlos Beltran Hall of Fame debate. Later in the show, Connor and Joe open the Mailbag for an extended edition, with questions answered about 2023 expectations for Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, how Lindor’s contract compares to other deals signed since, the effect of the Angels not being sold has on the future of Shohei Ohtani, which Mets roster spots are up for grabs during spring training competition, and what to expect from the potential future development of the land around Citi Field.
