Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop Episode 41 of The Mets Pod, a special number for Mets fans, as another special week brings official introductions to Justin Verlander and Kodai Senga, as well as rumors of more moves to come. Connor and Joe react to how Verlander and Senga introduced themselves to New York, make a case for the return of Michael Conforto to help the offense, and look at Liam Hendricks as a trade option to help build a lock down bullpen. The guys also try to sort out the crowd at catcher following the signing of Omar Narvaez, and open the Mailbag to take on questions about the risks of signing Senga, the possibility of a trade for Rafael Devers, and which Mets rookie will have the biggest year in 2023. And of course, the Mets make another move before the show even ends, so Connor and Joe wrap the episode with a “welcome back” to reliever Adam Ottavino.
