On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo recap a good sweep and a bad sweep, plus preview some NL East showdowns for the Mets. Connor and Joe recap the week that was, including a fun time against the Nationals, tough struggles against the Rays, and some marks against the starting pitching staff.  The guys also cover the injury to Kodai Senga, the stepping up of David Peterson, the wait for several young players to make a case to stay, and the upcoming matchups with the Braves and Phillies.  Later, the show goes Down on the Farm for a status update on the red-hot Jett Williams, and takes on Mailbag questions about the long-term plan for center field, moving certain starters to the bullpen, the changes to the physical baseballs in 2025, and what it would cost to trade for Aroldis Chapman.
